Nomura signed a 20 year lease to occupy the whole of Watermark Place in September 2009. Works on the fit-out of the 500,000 sq.ft office space began immediately. One of our major clients, Michael J Lonsdale, were awarded the reported £25M mechanical services fit-out and began works immediately. We commenced the extremely ambitious flushing and commissioning programme in April 2010 including 7 day working and 24 hour shifts. Staged handover started in August with the client moving in behind us as we went. Much to everyone's credit, every date has been met. The last two areas of Level 7 and 8 (contractors and storage) will complete by the end of this month with the official handover in January 2011. Well done to all those involved with particular mention for Darren Claydon and Stuart MacLennan (flushing), Stuart McGeever and Aiden McDonnell (commissioning), Jonathan Carlin and Chris Taylor (commissioning management) without whose dedication and commitment, the project would not have happened. |

The Grade II listed former Regent Palace Hotel in Piccadilly will be converted to provide a mix of office, retail, residential and restaurant space around a central atrium. Three of the corner pavilions which make up the hotel’s original façade will be retained and significant sections of its exquisite Art Deco interiors restored and reinstated. Originally built for J Lyons & Co in 1915, with 1,100 rooms it was the largest hotel in Europe at the time. A sophisticated temporary works solution was formulated to allow for excavation of a deeper basement while avoiding the need to install flying shores across the 60m wide site. The hotel’s famous Titanic Restaurant and Atlantic Bar and Grill have been dismantled and removed for later reinstatement. Timber and plaster features were carefully recorded with latex squeezes taken from all profiles. Work for MJL starts next year. |
