Nova Development in London Voted Britain’s Worst New Building

Nova, a pair of London office buildings developed by Land Securities Group Plc and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, is the worst new property in Britain, according to a panel assembled by architectural website Building Design.

The 480,000 square-foot (44,600 square-meter) buildings were designed by PLP Architecture Ltd. and tenants include BHP Billiton Plc and Egon Zehnder. It’s the second time in three years that a project involving the U.K.’s largest real estate investment trust has won the so-called Carbuncle Cup. The 2015 award was bestowed on the Walkie Talkie, the skyscraper that Land Securities jointly developed at 20 Fenchurch Street.
