1 Cabot Square

1 Cabot Square (also known as Credit Suisse) is a 21 floor office building occupied by Credit Suisse in the Canary Wharf development in London, England. Original plans called for a skyscraper on this site for CSFB, however the slump at the end of the 1980s saw these plans scaled back.

The architect on the project was Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, and the building was completed in 1991. It is 89 metres tall with a floorspace of 50,166 square metres.

Famous quotes containing the words cabot and/or square:

    There’s two ways you can go on this job: my way or the highway.
    Quentin Tarantino, U.S. screenwriter and direcotr. Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney)

    If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps; the majesty of these sciences would of itself be venerable enough. But having only imaginary knowledge, they must employ those silly tools that strike the imagination with which they have to deal; and thereby, in fact, they inspire respect.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
