- Welcome back, Richest fans! Located in the heart of London, England, sits a unique building. Nicknamed the Walkie Talkie, the office block 20 Fenchurch Street created a mixed reaction when it was first opened in 2014. Especially after the building caused a heat ray that melted cars and fried eggs below. But that didn’t stop it from being sold for a fortune in 2017! Today, we’re going to look at this fascinating property. We’ll see its construction history, the problems in its design, as well as the features within the walls. Including the multi-floor Sky Garden.
Now for the spoiler paragraph. If you like surprises, we suggest you stop reading and watch the video multiple times. We start off by looking into where it is exactly and the legend of the building that was there before. Then, we dive into the construction history and the work by architect Rafael Viñoly. After that, we’ll examine the heat ray phenomenon in detail and how the developers worked to solve that problem. But there’s also the wind tunnel effect the Walkie Talkie caused! We’ll then explore the features within. The Sky Garden even offers various events. There’s also several restaurants and bars on the top floors. Some of which are incredibly expensive. We’ll then see why the developers decided to sell the property and who picked it up. At the time, this made it the most expensive office block sold in London! Finally, we’ll briefly see who might be taking that crown soon, the building of 100 Bishopsgate.

said during the year of a global pandemic..
The economy hardship, recession, unemployment and loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures.
I have secured financial freedom by Investing in bonds, equities, EFT's and some digital currencies
I wanted to invest more on digital currencies (crypto) but the fluctuations in crypto value discourage me into dumping.
@@ervinmiller938 that's why you need the help of a professional who trade and understand the market to earn good more income!!.These professionals understand the market like it's there own finances,,,,
As the economy is shifting, you need to have legitimate and creative sources of extra incomes. There are opportunities available that people have been using for years now.
When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it doesn't matter how much harder you work. The most you will make is 5 dollars, very simple.
This skyscraper is the new villain of the next Fast and Furious movie.
Lol
Family over earthing 😅
If the building doesn't melt my car, I want my money back 😂
Giants be using magnifying scrapers to melt cars instead of humans burning ants with magnifying glasses

That's a lot of money
That is cool
I'm not sure the currency conversions are really helpful. The exchange rate is constantly changing. In fact the rate used in the video was probably out of date by the time the converted amounts given in the video were recorded.
Do i make normal quality kareoke music or high quality commercial songs. I'm confused help
Dios Todo ese edificio no tenemos está muy bonito de cuantos pisos de altura será ya terminado tiene ser una belleza. Todo está Dios. gracias al espíritu Santo Amen

Hi bud
Hello how are you doing today I hope you’re having a wonderful day
Simply surround the building with fish ect to cook it
So it didn't actually melt any cars, just the plastic bits, difference.
Me and my bios be taking my ex’s heart in this😂
Th fact that the building's nickname is the Walkie Talkie is funny ast
That's nothing. The 30 St Mary Axe building is nicknamed The Gherkin
wait am i tripping or it looks like the building from battlefield's story mode from the inside
building that melts things with it's glass? this architect might be descendent of archimedes
Where is the melting car?
Like GTA 😮
Hi
GOD BLESS YOU
clicked cos of the tumbnail, disappointed I didn't see that part but great video tho
they should just send the cars from the scrap yard over there it be more environmental friendly
U would have thought the designer must have known this problem
Huh. A Melted SLR is somehow even uglier. Nice to know.
Did you know that I eat chicken nuggets and I’m also the first person that commenting on your video and I’m also the person with the first person that watched this video
Hes the first person to watch it. Also who cares 8yr kid?
You sure
Wow
