Mace has completed work on One Crown Place, the latest landmark in London, on behalf of clients MTD Group and CBRE.

The development will deliver a total of 246 private apartments and a fully restored Georgian terrace which is being transformed into a 41-room luxury boutique hotel and 140,000 sq ft of premium office space.

Composed of concrete and glass with deep steel trusses at the base, the façade of the adjacent 28- and 34-storey towers is made up of glazed terracotta. The design artfully combines original heritage buildings with striking modern architecture from Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF).

Mace has used modern methods of construction and the latest technology to deliver One Crown Place. Working together with 3D visualisation start-up, Disperse, the team has visually tracked construction progress while using data to address inefficiencies, redefining the boundaries of delivery.

Mace has delivered One Crown Place as a BREEAM Excellent rated project. This was achieved through high performance glazing to control solar gain and heat loss, energy efficient lighting and daylight sensors.

Global property firm CBRE were appointed by MTD Group in 2015 to act as both development manager and project manager to market the site's 246 private apartments and 140,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Gareth Lewis, CEO for Construct at Mace, said: "Working alongside MTD Group whose leadership and vision was vital for the landmark scheme’s success, we strived for an innovative approach to deliver One Crown Place. Redefining the boundaries of construction delivery, our team used new digital tools and cutting-edge structural steel installation as part of our delivery strategy. This project represented a complex construction challenge; and I'm very proud that our hard work has delivered such an iconic new skyscraper for London."
