Lendlease has been chosen to build a new £600 million headquarters (HQ) for Google in London.

The new building, designed by Heatherwick Studios and BIG in collaboration with BDP, will be developed at King's Cross.

Once completed in 2020, it is expected around 4,000 employees will be based in the building.

Joe Borrett, Google's EMEA Director of Real Estate and Construction, said: "Lendlease emerged from a rigorous selection process as the best choice as our construction partner at King's Cross because we felt it shared many of our own values; a desire to challenge industry norms, a focus on innovation, and a highly collaborative approach."
