Lendlease Secures £87m Refurb Project In West London
Lendlease has been selected as Construction Manager for an £87 million refurbishment project in West London.
The company will redevelop three buildings at White City Place (WestWorks, Mediaworks, and Garden House) into commercial office facilities for joint developers Stanhope, Mitsui Fudosan and AIMCo.
The site is formerly known as the BBC's Media Village on Wood Lane.
Work on the three buildings is worth around £80m, with further landscaping works currently being finalised for £7m.
Once refurbished, the three buildings will offer 600,000 sq ft of commercial office space.
The number of subcontractors on the project is expected to rise to 550 as the scheme progresses, which involves substantial structural alteration, replacement of glass and the restoration of building facades.
Stanhope is also transforming the former Television Centre site into a mixed-use development, featuring 950 new homes, office space, restaurant, cafes, modern studios for the BBC and a Soho House members club and hotel.
Neil Martin, MD of Lendleases' construction business, said: "We're excited to be working with our longstanding client Stanhope as well as Mitsui Fudosan and AIMCo on White City Place. We worked closely with the team to understand exactly what was required in order to deliver the right results and optimise the return on their investment."
Two of the buildings – MediaWorks and Garden House – were built by Lendlease 12 years ago, while the contractor has previously carried out work on White City One.
The development is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2017.
