Real estate investment manager, Lothbury Investment Management, has celebrated the topping out ceremony at their prestigious Category A office development at 127 Charing Cross Road in London.
The ceremony, involving the tightening of the final bolt, took place in conjunction with main contractors Galliford Try Building London and South East Commercial, Nomura Real Estate Development (NRED) and key project stakeholders.
Developed by Galliford Try on behalf of NRED, with development and project management services provided by Lothbury Investment Management, the scheme comprises the part demolition of the existing building and erection of a new four-storey extension to create an eight-storey mixed-use development. This will include high-quality office, retail and leisure space. Dedicated tenant amenity space and a large roof top communal terrace will also be provided with views across the West End skyline.
The event marked an important milestone in the development of the refurbished Category A office space that will enhance the existing 1970s building with upgraded leisure space on the ground floor and part basement opening on to Charing Cross Road. Set to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, the highly sustainable scheme has been designed to complement the existing and emerging townscape and provide a positive contribution to the Soho Conservation Area.
The development has a strong social value focus and has included the launch of a mental health awareness campaign that used 687 high-vis vests to represent the number of suicides among tradespeople in the UK, and a visit from Liz Twist MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self Harm Prevention.
The development is due for completion in late summer.
