British Land appoints SRM and William Hare for next Broadgate project
Developer British Land, has appointed Sir Robert McAlpine (SRM) as main contractor and William Hare as steel contractor for 2 Finsbury Avenue (2FA), the next phase of the Broadgate redevelopment in the City of London.
The appointment follows work undertaken by SRM in delivering 100 Liverpool Street and 1 Broadgate, extending the longstanding partnership with British Land.
Reaching a height of 170m, and due to be completed in 2027, 2FA will be an iconic addition to the capital’s skyline. The steel-framed building will boast a 21-storey West office tower and 36-storey East office tower, characterised by triangular patterns combining a solid and glazed sawtooth-shaped façade that supports double height spaces.
The towers will be linked by both a 12-storey podium and a single-story winter garden at level 13.
According to British Land, 2FA will raise the bar in its sustainability strategy. It will be all-electric, and a smart-enabled development ensuring leading carbon and energy efficiency in operation, as well as BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL Platinum, WIRED Platinum, Nabers 5-star and EPC ‘A’ accreditations.
Simon Carter, CEO at British Land, said: “2FA is an incredibly exciting scheme that will transform the London skyline with a unique dual tower design. It will be delivered into a supply-constrained market in 2027, and this landmark pre-let is further proof of the strong demand for the modern, sustainable office space at our well-connected, amenity-rich London campuses. We look forward to welcoming Citadel and Citadel Securities to their new London home at 2FA.”
