Construction milestone at £8m Clapham development

The main building shell has been completed on an £8m office and residential development in Clapham, south London, planned and designed by a team of Reading-based architects.

The Harris Partnership has provided all planning, construction and fit out designs for the 10,000 sq ft of grade A office accommodation and 40 luxury apartments, with communal external terraces on the third and fourth floors, all of which have already been sold off-plan.

All six levels of the £8m scheme in the centre of Clapham have now been built leaving the external; fabric and cladding finishes to be installed before practical completion for the entire development is achieved in early 2016.

The office complex will provide new, improved modern accommodation for the site’s existing tenant, global lift and escalator company Kone, with the apartments rising from the first floor.

The building encompasses a contemporary approach using traditional materials and boasts very good green credentials with 20% on site renewable energy generation.

The scheme was purchased in March this year by an institutional investor having been pre-let to Kone and is being built by Marbank Construction with practical completion anticipated in early 2016 following cladding and fit out.
