Royal London Asset Management Ltd has appointed Skanska to build The Earnshaw Building.

The contract is worth £83m and is for two separate buildings. The first one consists of 18 residential apartments and the second is a 21,400m2 mixed-use commercial office building.

Both buildings will have retail units located on the ground floor. Skanska will also install mechanical, electrical, and public health services for the development.

The buildings are targeting environmental accreditations which include BREEAM Outstanding for the commercial office space and BREEAM Excellent for the rest of the development, as well as a WELL Core and Shell Gold certification.

Construction work is set to start in May 2021 and the development is expected to complete in December 2022.
