Developer CO-RE and asset manager Audley Property have appointed Mace under a pre-construction services agreement on the redevelopment of Blackstone’s new European HQ in Berkeley Square.
The 10-storey Lansdowne House, which will occupy the entire southern end of the Mayfair square, will provide 225,000 sq ft of premium workplace, with 14,000 sq ft of retail and restaurants at ground level.
Lansdowne House has been designed by a architects AHMM with a ‘long life and loose fit concept’. The building will be constructed using a ‘sway frame’ structure, allowing for large floor plates and a centralised core that can be adapted and re-used in the future to accommodate change without requiring wholesale demolition of the building. The project is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum.
Luke Wainwright, director at CO-RE, said: “As we embark on another fantastic project with Mace, we are looking forward to delivering this landmark office development in the heart of Mayfair.”
Ged Simmonds, managing director of offices for Mace Construct, added: “We are delighted to be working once again with CO-RE on the ambitious redevelopment of Lansdowne House. The outstanding quality and historic location will make this development one of the most premium offices in London. We are pleased to be playing a leading role in its renewal.”
Enabling works have already begun on site and the project is scheduled to complete in 2028.
