An extensive refurbishment project on London's Senator building in St Paul's has been completed.

The building provides 150,000 sq ft of premium commercial space, with a new seventh floor pavilion and rooftop gardens offering great views of the city.

The project was developed by Vantage, a joint venture partnership between Legal & General Capital and PGGM, and designed by Ben Adams Architects.

GRAHAM served as the contractor on the project, delivering a new flexible dining area, cycle storage and 5,700 sq ft of landscaped gardens.

The firm also deployed BIM 360 during the work to enable site team members to visually analyse the progress of the snagging phase and make evidence-based decisions, which ultimately sped up delivery.


A new grey granite cladding was also introduced to frame the building's exterior.

Nigel Fuller, Senior Fund Manager at Legal & General, said: "Senator's refurbishment has transformed the building and is testament to our team's ability to reshape existing buildings in prime urban locations to make them suitable for today's modern working environment. There is a huge demand for this type of work space from blue chip occupiers who recognise the importance of its work environment to improve its staff's well-being and productivity."

Rob Joyce, GRAHAM's London office Director, added: "This new commercial development in the heart of St Paul's provides outstanding office space for occupiers and benefits from some of London's best views. Throughout the construction programme we have worked closely with the wider project team to give Senator a new lease of life and improve its energy performance, which will reduce its future running costs."
