Brookfield Multiplex wins £150m Saatchi building

摘要

Brookfield Multiplex has been chosen as preferred contractor by developer Derwent London for the £150m redevelopment of the Saatchi & Saatchi office building in central London, writes Tim Clark. Sources confirmed to Building that Brookfield Multiplex has beaten Bam and Mace to the Fitzrovia scheme, with the contractor now in the process of closing the agreement with Derwent. The scheme was put on hold in July 2013 when advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi, which has occupied the building since 1975, delayed its move away from the property, but Derwent restarted procurement for a contractor last autumn. Construction on the Make-designed project, which will comprise 323,000ft~2 of offices and 14,000ft~2 of private residential units, is now expected to start in the second half of 2015, with completion estimated for early 2018.
