Developer Hines has appointed Knight Harwood as the main contractor for its 120,000 sq ft Grain House development in Covent Garden.
The building will undergo significant remodelling with five existing buildings merged into one. Works include new piled foundations, an RC lift and stair core, structural steel infills and construction of an additional two floors.
The existing façades will be restored and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors fitted out to Cat A. The 4th and 5th floors will be Cat B to accommodate Hines’ new European headquarters.
