Contract awarded for Moorgate over-station development

Mace has been appointed principal contractor by Aviva Investors and Allianz Real Estate for the 101 Moorgate project in the City of London.

The 10-storey over-station development, which will sit above Moorgate station’s Hammersmith & City line, is at the heart of the new Elizabeth Line complex.

Targeting a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating, the building will provide eight floors of grade A office space, as well as a mezzanine-level business lounge and retail spaces. A roof terrace, and additional outdoor areas at lower levels will provide green spaces to enhance wellbeing for occupants. A newly created covered walkway will provide public access between Moorgate and Moorfields.

Mace’s Managing Director, Commercial Offices & Residential, Ged Simmonds, said: “We are proud that Mace will be playing a key role in Aviva Investors’ vision for 101 Moorgate. Not only is the project an exciting job right on our doorstep, but it’s our first project with Aviva and Allianz Real Estate. There is a common ambition to create a building that excels on all levels as a truly sustainable workplace for generations to come.”

Mace will be undertaking both the construction and category A fit-out. Main construction will begin in October 2022, with completion expected in September 2024.
