Salesforce Tower, 110 Bishopsgate (formerly, and still commonly known as, Heron Tower) is a commercial skyscraper in London. It stands 230 metres (755 ft) tall[4] including its 28-metre (92 ft) mast making it the second tallest building in the City of London financial district[5] and the fifth tallest in Greater London and the United Kingdom, after the Shard in Southwark and One Canada Square at Canary Wharf. 110 Bishopsgate is located on Bishopsgate and is bordered by Camomile Street, Outwich Street and Houndsditch.
Construction of the building started in 2007 and was completed in 2011. It is owned by Heron International and is still popularly known as Heron Tower, though following a naming dispute in 2014 involving the tenant Salesforce.com[6] the City of London planning committee made it clear they would rule in favour of the property being officially named 110 Bishopsgate, although the application was withdrawn before it went to committee.[7] The tower initially struggled to attract tenants in the depths of the Great Recession, but is now fully let.[8]
