Landsec procured Lavington Street in December 2018 and commenced construction of a c.400,000 sq ft NIA, two building office-led scheme in December 2022.
The existing site comprised of two buildings, the east building was originally built as a print works and the west building was a 1970’s office block. The scheme comprises the cut and carve of the East building retaining as much existing structure as possible and provision of a steel/CLT extension. The West building is being replaced with a hybrid steel/CLT 14-storey building.

The development is currently on site with demolition and an early enabling works package comprising a double storey basement box complete.
