Contractor VolkerFitzpatrick has reached a construction milestone on a £27 million development project in central London.

Multi-use development 77 Coleman Street is being refurbished and extended on behalf of built environment developer Kajima. This includes the construction of 68,000ft2 of office space and over 16,000ft2 of retail and leisure space.


VolkerFitzpatrick and Kojima were on hand recently to hold a topping out ceremony as the development reached its highest point of ten storeys. To mark the occasion, the final section of roof slab was poured by both Stuart Deverill and John Harcourt, head of property for Kajima, followed by a few words.

John Harcourt said: "The success of a project such as this comes down to three things, the first is attention to detail: getting everything right up front and doing your homework. The second is getting the right detail in the build stage, for which we have VolkerFitzpatrick to thank, and the third is luck. We have a great team here and with all these aspects combined, the project is taking great shape."
