Mark Kowal from Sheppard Robson said: “The ambition and drive behind this project is to create a significant piece of contemporary architecture and a sense of place that responds to the adjacent Brook Geen Conservation Area whilst also helping embed this new development within its surroundings." - November 2014.

Work started on site in September 2015.
The building was completed in October 2019.

The property was purchased by LGP in August 2012. Replacing a 1980s office building Bechtel House, rather than comprising a single structure like the existing Bechtel House, the new design reduces the mass of the development by forming the building from two parallel wings that are connected by a central core.
