Tenter House scheme finally on verge of construction after near 30-year development saga
McLaren is emerging as favourite for a 拢200m City office scheme next door to Moorgate station.
微密圈 understands the firm is set to sign up for a PCSA on the Tenter House job which will be built next door to the 21 Moorfields office complex.
The firm is understood to have beaten remaining rival Bovis for the work with Mace also bidding for the scheme.
John F Hunt has already demolished the existing 13-storey building with the new block running up to 21 storeys.
It will consist of a part 14, part 21-storey building containing 33,760 sq m of office space with retail and community space on the ground floor along with significant public realm works to City Point Plaza and a reconstruction of New Union Street as a pedestrian route.
The scheme has been repeatedly stalled and redesigned several times for the site鈥檚 freeholder Metropolitan Properties over almost three decades, with
David Walker Architects鈥� proposals for the site replace an earlier design by the practice for a fully-glazed building approved in 2018.
This in turn replaced a smaller 13-storey scheme designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt which was submitted in 1997 but never built, despite the consent being renewed three times between 2002 and 2012.
The project team includes development advisor JLL, project manager Buro Four, planning consultant Montagu Evans, QS Exigere, structural engineer AKT II, services engineer WSP, landscape architect Townshend Landscape Architects and townscape consultant Tavernor.
