Helical has appointed Mace as the main contractor on the redevelopment of 100 New Bridge Street in the City of London.
The 1990s office building will be renovated to create 194,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, 3,592 sq ft of retail space and a 4,000 sq ft terrace providing views across Central London.
The original structure will be retained and Helical is targeting 95% reuse, recovery and recycling of construction waste. The project will retain 91% of the reinforced concrete lift cores and 85% of the reinforced concrete walls.
Helical is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum certification for the redevelopment, which is set to be net zero carbon in construction and operation. The redevelopment is part of a joint venture with a vehicle led by Orion Capital Managers.
Gerald Kaye, CEO of Helical, said: “We are delighted to be working with Mace to redevelop 100 New Bridge Street to create a best-in-class, carbon friendly office in a prime location in the City of London. This development will help meet the growing demand we are seeing for prime office spaces with the highest sustainability credentials.”
Ged Simmonds, managing director of private sector at Mace, added: “We are pleased to be partnering with Helical once again on another highly sustainable best-in-class office space at the heart of the City of London. Not only will this development be net zero carbon in construction and operation, but by retaining the existing structure and reusing existing materials, this scheme is leading the way in circularity.”
