Principal Place is a 15-storey office block in Shoreditch, London, designed by Foster and Partners and completed in 2016.
[1] Immediately to the south of Principal Place, on the opposite side of Worship Street (and therefore within the boundaries of the City of London), stands Broadgate Tower.
In July 2014, it was reported that Amazon was close to signing a lease to move its UK headquarters to Principal Place.
The project had been on hold since January 2012, when the anchor tenant, the law firm CMS Cameron McKenna, pulled out.
An archaeological excavation undertaken in 2012, prior to the commencement of building work, discovered a hoard of 133 Roman coins (19 gold solidi and 114 silver siliquae; roughly equivalent to some 12 years' earnings for a late 4th-century legionary).
