Challenge
British Land, Modon and GIC aimed to transform 2 Finsbury Avenue into a state-of-the-art, all-electric, smart-enabled office-led development within the Broadgate Campus. The project involves replacing two outdated 1980s buildings with a new structure comprising a 36-storey East Tower, a 21-storey West Tower, and a 12-storey connecting podium, offering approximately 750,000 sq ft of flexible office, retail, and leisure space. The challenge was to achieve ambitious sustainability targets, including BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, EPC A, and NABERS 5-star ratings, while integrating seamlessly into the existing urban fabric and enhancing the public realm.
Solution
G&T is providing Project Management services, overseeing the development from inception through to delivery. Collaborating closely with the design team, including 3XN Architects, we are coordinating the project's various facets, ensuring that sustainability goals were embedded throughout the design and construction processes. The building's design incorporates features such as green terraces, energy-efficient systems, and high-performance façades, aligning with the targeted environmental certifications. Our role is pivotal in managing stakeholder engagement, programme scheduling, and risk mitigation, ensuring the project remains on track and meets its ambitious objectives.
Outcome
Upon completion, 2 Finsbury Avenue will stand as a prominent addition to London's skyline, offering state-of-the-art office spaces that meet the highest standards of sustainability and occupant wellbeing. G&T's effective project management has been instrumental in realising the client's vision, delivering a building that not only enhances the urban fabric but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable high-rise developments in the City of London.
