Construction News Image
Kier is to complete a major contract for new office accommodation at Lewis Cubitt Square at King's Cross.

The development forms part of a major regeneration project on the site, which involves the delivery of a 600-seat theatre with associated bar and front & back of house facilities, as well as retail space.

King's Cross Central Limited Partnership is completing the major scheme.

The new 12-storey building is designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) with a facade comprised of honed precast concrete panels. A large cycle parking facility will also be included in the project, with space for lockers, showers and a drying room.

Peter Young, executive director, Kier Regional Building said: "Building on our extensive experience in the area, we are delighted to again be working at King's Cross on this important new scheme. The P2 building will form a vital part of the King's Cross masterplan and complement the existing development to complete a key piece of the neighbourhood."

James Edgerley, Project Director, King's Cross, added: "We are very pleased to have commenced construction on a key part of the King's Cross masterplan. The building will create some fantastic and important office space, further extend the retail experience here at King's Cross and provide an impressive new theatre on Lewis Cubitt Square. We have a long-standing relationship with Kier and we are delighted to be working again with key members of the team that delivered building R7 so successfully last year."

Work has already begun on the pre-construction phase and P2 is due to be completed in 2021.
