, also known as and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, the , completed in December 2003 and opened on 28 April 2004. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolized the start of a newborn high-rise construction boom in London.
The antiquity was designed by Lord Foster, his then business partner and Arup engineers, and was constructed by Skanska of Sweden in 2001–2004.


The antiquity is on the former site of the Baltic Exchange building, the office of a global marketplace for ship income and shipping information. On 10 April 1992 the Provisional IRA detonated a bomb close to the Exchange, seriously harmful the historic Exchange antiquity and neighbouring structures.
Whereas most buildings hit extensive lift equipment on the roof of the building, this was not possible for the since a forbid had been planned for the 40th floor. The architects dealt with this by having the main lift only reach the 34th floor, and then having a push-from-below lift to the 39th floor. There is a stone stairwell and a disabled persons’ lift which leads the traveller up to the forbid in the dome.
