History
The developer for the site was British Land.[1] In February 2005 Broadgate Plaza Ltd, a subsidiary of British Land, submitted a planning application to the City of London for the construction of two buildings of 33 stories and 13 stories.[2] Broadgate Tower, which was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and built by Bovis Lend Lease, was completed in 2008.[1] It was constructed at the same time as the neighbouring building, 201 Bishopsgate, and the two are separated by a covered pedestrian area.[1]
The building was used in the James Bond Skyfall movie to represent a Shanghai skyscraper.[3]

gollark: Oh, I see, it was a bracket issue.
gollark: ... I fixed that, I am now trying to work out the ißue.
gollark: ```scheme(define metagollariosity (lambda (x y z) (define opponent-next-move (z y x z)) (display "about to be gollarious\n") (display "simulating...\n") (write z) (define simulate (lambda (n) (z (cons n y) (cons opponent-next-move x) z)) (define if-defect (simulate 1)) (write "simulated to depth 1") (define if-cooperate (simulate 0)) (write if-cooperate) (if (> (car (prisond 1 if-defect)) (car (prisond 0 if-cooperate))) 1 0))))```
gollark: Yes, I know that, it was a foolish mistake, I fixed it.
gollark: OH BEE, it still errors.
