Behind the Build – Clients on Location!

In the first video of the series, Marianne Toghill, Duncan Athol, Ali Crosthwaite and Andrew Russell from our Construction and Real Estate teams visit the development site of The Smith—one of Europe’s largest dismantling and repair projects. With the original 1915 façade being carefully preserved, the project will deliver a state-of-the-art office space with exceptional sustainability credentials and panoramic views over the Thames. We hear from long-standing client Edward Thomson of Old Park Lane Management on how McGee, Skanska and the wider team are delivering this complex transformation. Ed also shares his top three tips for a successful development project.

In our second video of the series, we're at One Hundred New Bridge Street in the beating heart of the city of London. Partner Marianne Toghill and Associate Amy Bristol meet client Matt Redgrove of Helical, the developer of this site, who shares his favourite facts about this exciting development.

This Christmas edition of Behind the Build takes place at 10 King William Street, directly above Bank Underground station, showcasing an overstation development project. The project features the restoration of a Victorian facade from 1885 that was deconstructed in 2017 and stored, now being restored as part of the new building. Safety is paramount due to the proximity of thousands of commuters below, with crane capacity reduced by 25 per cent as an additional safety measure. In this short video, Senior Development Executive at Helical, Elliott Saunders, shares his three key tips for successful development projects.
