Grade A office development on the mark
Steel construction is due to be completed in May at 70 Mark Lane, a 16-storey commercial development in the City of London.
Offering 15,700m² of Grade A office accommodation, the structure features a dramatic louvered sloping roof that provides protection to south facing terraced gardens located on the six uppermost floors.
Andrew Henstock, Severfield-Watson Structures Project Manager, said the roof steelwork is the most challenging aspect of the job. “It’s a large architectural feature with many hidden connections that will require three weeks of on-site welding.”
The building is aiming for a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and the main contractor is Sir Robert McAlpine.
