McLaren Construction has been selected to deliver a £30 million office project in Uxbridge.

The contractor will provide 210,888 (GIA) sq ft of accommodation for Aviva Investors' Belmont office scheme.

The project has been designed by TP Bennett and includes office space over four-storeys including four passenger lifts and underground parking for 171 vehicles, accessible car parking bays, charging for electric vehicles, 116 cycle bars and associated shower/locker facilities.

Works will involve stripping the existing facades back to the concrete frame with the complete demolition of the central core area.

The works will accommodate a new entrance and reception area, providing a new main focal point for the building.

Approximately a third of the building is to be demolished with major strengthening works to the existing concrete frame that will enable additional accommodation to be added at roof level, increasing the floor area to 125,950 (NIA) sq ft.

In addition, the envelope will be re-clad with a brick cladding system, in addition to extensive areas of curtain walling and structural glazing.

Building servies will also be replaced and green renewable technologies will be introduced, resulting in the building achieving a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.

Work is scheduled to begin in July 2016, with McLaren on programme with piling to the central core to commence soon.

David Murphy, Southern Regional MD of McLaren, said: "We are delighted to be working with Aviva Investors again to deliver this prestigious redevelopment in the heart of Uxbridge. Following a number of recent successful completions in the Commercial market we look forward to a successful Project for all concerned which in turn will further strengthen our Commercial portfolio."
