Rothschild Hires Rem Koolhaas to Design New London Headquarters

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- NM Rothschild & Sons Ltd., the family-
owned U.K. investment bank that has been based in the same London
building since 1809, hired Rem Koolhaas to design new headquarters
in the city.

Rothschild aims to move into the building, on the site of its
current premises in London's main financial district, in time for
the bank's 200th anniversary. Koolhaas, a 61-year-old Dutch
architect, designed the Prada flagship store in New York and the
Seattle Public Library.
