- Broadgate is a large, 32 acres (129,499 m) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. The original developer was Rosehaugh: it was built by a Bovis / Tarmac Construction joint venture and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s. The modern and mainly-pedestrianised development is located on the original site of Broad Street station (closed in 1986) and beside and above the railway approaches into Liverpool Street station. The perimeter of the managed estate is Bishopsgate to the east, Sun Street, Appold Street and the eastern part of Worship Street to the north, the southern part of Wilson Street to the west and Eldon Street and Liverpool Street to the south. Included in the estate are Broadgate Circle and Exchange Square. Boundary changes made in 1993 now place the entire estate within the City of London - previously a part was in the London Borough of Hackney. Several different companies have participated in the development of the estate, but since 2003 the whole estate has been owned by British Land, which has been involved since 1984. Statistics from British Land state that the estate provides 360,000 square metres (3,900,000 square feet) of office, retail and leisure accommodation spread over 129,000 square metres (32 acres) and over 30,000 people are employed there. The 538-foot (164 m) Broadgate Tower, the 3rd-tallest building in the City after Tower 42 and the 30 St Mary Axe was completed in 2008 and has added more than 820,000 sq ft (76,000 m) of commercial floorspace to the estate. This building stands over the railway tracks out of Liverpool Street station . Broadgate Estates manage other major office and retail developments in London such as Paternoster Square, home of the London Stock Exchange.
- Broadgate er et stort kontor- og forretningskompleks i den nordvestre delen av City of London, rett vest for Liverpool Street station. Senteret dekker et areal på 120 dekar, og var inntil åpninga av Canary Wharf tidlig på 1990-tallet Londons største i sitt slag. I seinere år er Broadgate i økende grad også brukt om hele området omkring Liverpool Street Station. British Rail var inne i prosjektet i en tidlig fase, og lanserte Broadgate som et ledd i fiansiering av ombygging av Liverpool Street Station. I 1986 stengte den gamle Broad Street station, og samme år ble de to første bygningene i komplekset innviet. Arkitektfirmaet Arup Associates fikk mye kritikk for sin brutalistiske stil. Fem år seinere bestod komplekset av 13 bygninger; de fleste kledd med rosa granitt. Senterets midtpunkt er Broadgate Arena, en sirkelrund plass omgitt av rekker av butikker, barer og restauranter. Om sommeren er arenaen scene for ulike kulturarrangementer; fra oktober til april er den islagt. I 2008 utvides Broadgate med to nye, store bygg - Bishopsgate nr. 201 og en skyskraper som får navnet Broadgate Tower. Broadgate Tower blir den tredje høyeste bygningen i City - etter Tower 42 og Swiss Re-bygningen.
