New City monument takes shape

Construction work is nearing completion on 24 Monument Place, a nine-storey retail and commercial development in the City of London.

Located opposite the Monument, the famous London landmark which commemorates the Great Fire of 1666, the building will offer two lower levels of retail and approximately 7,600m2 of office space.

The development is a steel framed structure with Portland stone cladding and full height glazed windows. Working on behalf of main contractor Mace, Severfield-Watson Structures has fabricated, supplied and erected the steelwork.

Architect for the project is David Walker Architects and structural engineer is WSP. The scheme is scheduled for completion in June.
