Information about The Arch, 225 City Rd, London EC1V 1JT The Arc is a stunning 22-storey contemporary building that has won several awards. It was inspired by the Meatpacking District in New York and Star Wars and is named after the luminous arches that welcome you at the entrance. The building features one hundred sustainably designed apartments on the top fifteen floors and 160,000 sq ft of office and retail space. The lower ground floor has 413 secure bicycle spaces within a dedicated 'cycle hub,' making it ideal for cycling enthusiasts.
