Buoygues UK has scooped a new design and build contract.

Selected by developers Morgan Capital Partners LLP, the contract will see the demolition of existing offices and the construction of a new eight-floor office building at 45 Cannon Street, including a Category A fit-out and the addition of 13,000 sq m of retail space on the ground floor.


As part of the works, the entrance to Mansion House underground station will also be refurbished as it sits on the site.

Bouygues UK is aiming for a BREEAM Excellent rating on the project.

Arnaud Bekaert, Bouygues UK's Managing Director for Construction London and South East, said: "We have a solid reputation for taking existing office sites and redeveloping them to maximise the commercial space available for clients. This in turn is helping businesses to meet the continued and growing demand for more offices in the capital."

The project is due for completion in 2016.
