One St.Paul's

The client sought to redevelop a dated office building to attract high-quality tenants with strong covenants, while respecting its heritage setting and enhancing views of St Paul’s Cathedral. Outdated infrastructure, limited end-of-trip facilities and a reception with poor street-level visibility reduced its appeal. The challenge was to create a modern, sustainable workplace that makes better use of natural light and outdoor space, while retaining and reusing existing building elements wherever feasible.

G&T is providing Cost Management, Project Management and Employer’s Agent services throughout the redevelopment.  The proposals include a new reception entrance façade, larger upper-floor windows and expanded terraces to improve visibility, daylight and external amenities. Working with the project team, we are supporting delivery and cost decisions across the refurbishment, including opportunities to reuse steel and finishes.

The redevelopment will provide modern office accommodation with improved daylight, an enhanced arrival experience and expanded terraces overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral and the London skyline. New basement cycle storage and changing facilities will support active travel, while proposed all-electric building services will support decarbonisation ambitions, targeting a five-star NABERS rating and BREEAM 'Outstanding'. G&T’s combined service solution is helping align delivery with the client’s quality, sustainability and commercial objectives.
