Kier and developer King's Cross Central Limited Partnership celebrated a construction milestone this month when the £42m ArtHouse, at the 67-acre King's Cross development in London, reached its full height.

Kier Construction managing director Colin Lamb joined representatives from King’s Cross and One Housing Group to ceremoniously cement the last trowel of concrete into place on the roof of the building, marking the completion of its frame.


ArtHouse which is located on York Way, beside the Regent’s Canal, comprises 143 high quality one, two, three and four-bed homes over eight floors and will provide the development's first open market homes as well as 29 affordable homes with One Housing Group. The building also includes commercial units at street level and 37 basement parking spaces.

Kier started on site at the development, which will be part of the brand new postcode London N1C, in October 2011 and work is now focused on the external facades of the building and its internal fit out, before the project’s completion and hand over in autumn this year.
