VolkerFitzpatrick Selected For Multi-Use London Development
VolkerFitzpatrick has been selected to deliver £27 million construction works on a multi-use development in London.
The firm will refurbish and extend 77 Coleman Street, constructing 8,000ft2 of office space and over 16,000ft2 of retail and leisure space.
This project was first launched in April 2018, and is scheduled for completion in Q4 of this year.
VolkerFitzpatrick will fit the office spaces out to a CAT A specification, including the shell and core structures, ceilings, floors and installation of key services.
The retail and leisure units will feature a complete base build, concrete walls, flooring, lighting and installation of fire alarms. The units will be fitted with retail frontages at ground floor level and terrace areas will be constructed around the upper floors.
A new four-metre high reception and breakout area will also be delivered as the building's main entrance and a new public street, named Nun Court, linking Coleman Street with Moorgate.
Stuart Deverill, managing director of VolkerFitzpatrick's Building division, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by Kajima, to deliver this exciting project in central London. Utilising our high quality construction and fit out capabilities, 77 Coleman Street will be a significant addition to our portfolio of multi-use developments in the capital."
James Starkey, project director for Kajima, added: "This is a technically complicated development and a really important project for us in terms of the expected quality and programme, so we're delighted to place its delivery into the reliable hands of the VolkerFitzpatrick team."
