Shell already has a large office complex on the site, a 27-story tower called Shell Centre on Belvedere Road, along the south bank of the Thames River. The company has moved out thousands of employees from the tower to temporary offices in the nearby Canary Wharf district, as Shell contemplates starting the new complex project by 2014. The tower will remain for the new project, and will likely gain more office and multifamily towers.
