Familiar rivals Mace and Multiplex have been joined by Balfour Beatty in chasing a towers scheme in London's Blackfriars for developer Native Land, writes Dave Rogers. The deal is for the first towers at the split site of the former Ludgate House and Sampson House office blocks on the southern side of Blackfriars Bridge. Cementation Skanska is already carrying out piling works on the Ludgate House job ahead of three buildings going up on the site, which is the former home of the Daily Express and Building. The tallest is set to be a 48-storey tower, known as LH2, which will have 240 homes with the other buildings, LH1 and LH3, a lower-rise residential building of 17 apartments and a 221,000ft~2 office building.
