ISG has completed the redevelopment of The Crosspoint next to Liverpool Street station.
This is ISG’s second project for Lord Alan Sugar’s real estate company, Amsprop. They have previously completed 5 Cheapside next to St Paul’s Cathedral.
A number of 4th-century skeletons were recovered from the site over a 4-month excavation by archaeologists.
Speaking after the completion of the project, ISG’s divisional director, Graham Ardley commnted on the challenging project: “Alderman’s House was a very complex project. From the piling requirements, adjacent the Hammersmith and City tube line, and the façade retention, whilst forming a basement in this very busy location, the team had to navigate numerous challenges to deliver an outstanding solution.”
The complex scheme began with the strip out and demolition of a 6-storey brick-clad concrete building, and the adjacent four-storey brick and timber retail and residential building, whose facade was retained.
A new 8-storey concrete-framed oval-shaped office tower was built, incorporating curved sandstone and Portland stone to its façade.
ISG also completed the Cat A fit out to nine floors of new office space with polished concrete floors in the main core area, four new lifts and a concrete finished desk within the new main reception area.
