Mace has been appointed to deliver the £400m redevelopment of the BBC Television Centre.
The iconic building will be transformed into a major mixed-use development, including a business hub for the creative industries, a hotel, cinema, gym, restaurants and cafes, as well as 950-homes.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2015 and enabling works will commence shortly to ensure that key elements of the first phase of the scheme will be completed and occupied in 2017.
David Camp, Stanhope’s Chief Executive, said “For the first time in 50 years, the site will be opened up creating access through the site essential in enabling Television Centre to become the hub of an evolving district. Together with the BBC’s continuing presence on the site and the addition of Soho House, we believe that Television Centre will be a great place to live, work and visit.”
Chief Executive Officer for Mace, Mark Reynolds, said: “Continuing our long established relationship with Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan is tremendous and we are looking forward to working with AIMCo, helping everyone transform the iconic Television Centre into a vibrant new community in west London.”
