New appointment
Kier has been appointed to deliver The Fitzrovia development on Tottenham Court Road
Offsite construction will be a key focus, the facade will consist of both ceramic and brick faced precast concrete panels, with glazing installed off site and craned into position as finished bays. The scheme has a large focus on sustainability, with targets of BREEAM Excellent, WELL Platinum, WIRED Platinum, and NABERS accreditation.
Liam Cummins, Group managing director at Kier Construction said: “We are delighted to be delivering on our strategic goal of market growth through developing our relationships with long-term blue-chip clients. The high profile wins not only grow our portfolio in the London market, but they also build on our technical excellence and experience in delivering large-scale mixed-use and residential schemes.
“In line with our clients’ visions and our Building for a Sustainable World framework we welcome the opportunity to leave lasting sustainable and social legacies in the vibrant communities of both these projects through our off-site, carbon saving and social value approach.”
David Hutton, director at CO—RE, said in a statement: “The Fitzrovia will go beyond the requirements of the modern occupier, providing a high-end design and flexible commercial space just moments from the transformed Tottenham Court Road Station. As we step into a new era, access to outside space is an increasingly important consideration for all occupiers. The Fitzrovia will meet this demand through the provision of both private and communal outdoor terraces.”
