A premium residential scheme in London's EC2 has reached a major project milestone.

MTD Group topped out its One Crown Place scheme, with the final floor of the 33-storey southernmost building delivered by Mace. This comes after the northernmost building reached full height in Autumn 2019.

The development will deliver a total of 246 private apartments and a fully restored Georgian terrace which will be transformed into a 41-room luxury boutique hotel, 140,000 sq ft of premium office space and retail units totalling 7,000 sq ft will also be delivered as part of the scheme. It artfully combines original heritage buildings with striking modern architecture from Kohn Pederson Fox (KPF).

External work on the residential towers is well underway at One Crown Place, revealing the scheme's unique and characterful design, and interior fit-out of the apartments has begun followed by the hotel fit-out later this year. The scheme is due to reach completion in Q1 2021.


Gareth Lewis, CEO for Construction at Mace, said: "After working on the construction phase of One Crown Place, we're proud of what we have achieved so far and thrilled to celebrate this project milestone on schedule. This project represents a complex construction challenge; and I'm very proud that our hard work will deliver such an iconic new skyscraper for London. The next chapter of construction has commenced in full force and we're excited to work with MTD Group and our supply chain partners to bring this project to completion next year."

AMTD London Development is a subsidiary of MTD Group undertaking the One Crown Place project.

AMTD London Development Co Ltd's Director, Tee Kim Siew added: "We are very pleased to announce the topping-out of this iconic mixed-use development in Central London. This is a major milestone for MTD Group and demonstrates our commitment to delivering this landmark scheme to the highest standards. We look forward to continuing to work alongside Mace to realise our vision for the development and see them forge ahead with the fit-out of the apartments and hotel during this first half of the year."
