The 45-metre high core was formed in just 15 working days at an average speed of three metres a day by a 40-strong team.
Completion is scheduled for spring 2016. The building is being developed speculatively under the Workplaces by Skanska banner adjacent to The Monument itself, the 61-metre high Doric column that was built in 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London.
Total development cost is put at 拢57m and the construction contract is valued at 拢33m.
Skanska development manager James Willats said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 great that The Monument Building is taking shape so quickly. On completion next year it will be a welcome addition to the City landscape, offering Grade A office accommodation and exciting retail opportunities.鈥�
