Reef Group has appointed construction company Ardmore to deliver the final phase of the TRIBECA life sciences campus in the King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter.
The campus will feature high-quality workspace, state-of-the-art laboratories, homes, shops and restaurants, as well as its very own campus square, green spaces and amenities.
The buildings will be built in accordance with the principles of the London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) and will achieve BREEAM Excellent and a WiredScore Platinum rating.
Peter Langly-Smith, development director at Reef Group, said: “Starting work on phase two of TRIBECA brings us closer to completing this new and exciting life sciences ecosystem at the heart of the Knowledge Quarter in King’s Cross. TRIBECA will deliver world class facilities and strengthen the UK’s life sciences offer, allowing it to grow and increase its international competitiveness. There is no better place for our country’s businesses to thrive than in the midst of other leaders in science exploration and technology.”
James Byrne, director at Ardmore, added: “We are thrilled to have been appointed to deliver the final phase of the TRIBECA life sciences campus in King’s Cross. I am especially pleased that Reef have shown such confidence in us to deliver one of their most prestigious schemes. We’ve put together a highly skilled team for this project, who have worked under a PCSA for the last 12-months to ensure the scheme remained deliverable and viable. This award underlines our ability to de-risk complex projects, combining our extensive experience of large-scale commercial and residential construction and our ability to unlock logistically challenging schemes.”
Gardiner & Theobald has been appointed as the consultant for the delivery of TRIBECA’s final phase, providing project management, employers agent and cost consultancy advice to the project.
