High-quality stone, metal and sanitary finishes have been used throughout the new elements of the building including the basement cycle store fit for 86 bikes and lockers, shower facilities and washrooms. The retrofit includes the provision of additional internal and external plant associated with this use in order to bring the building up to modern occupier requirements. A new louvre screen is was incorporated on the ninth floor roof to replace the existing plant screen, this upgrade will create a more discreet and pleasant on the eye plant area.

All the glazing throughout the building has been upgraded to improve the building's thermal performance; they have also been designed to match the existing detailing in the ground floor glazing. The building’s fire, mechanical and electrical performance was upgraded with the refurbishment in line with modern building regulations.

The design celebrates the site's unique history through motifs of Morse Code which reads 50 Broadway. You can see the code brought into the metalwork and along the graphic-designed signage which can also be spotted throughout the building.

Following modern occupation densities, the office floor upgrades increased the occupation density to 1:8m2, this better use of space means approximately 150 more staff can work in the building.
