By GlobalDataThe all-electric, smart-enabled development is designed to achieve leading carbon and energy efficiency during its operation.
Using LEAN design principles in collaboration with its supply chain, William Hare has built its steel solution to align with the project’s overall sustainability aims.
Last month, Sir Robert McAlpine was selected to construct this dual high-rise, mixed-use development.
A joint venture between British Land and GIC appointed the construction and civil engineering company for this project.
Matthew Nesbit, group board director at William Hare, said: “We are delighted to have been appointed at 2 Finsbury Avenue, as an extension of the work we have already delivered on the Broadgate development.
“Being able to bring our design, fabrication and delivery capability to life on schemes like this is a testament to our market-leading position as a global steel specialist.”
A third of the development’s office space has been pre-leased by hedge fund company Citadel and Citadel Securities.
Completion is expected in 2027, with William Hare anticipated to finish its work by mid-2025.
