This major project is a catalyst for more regeneration in an area that will become a new transport hub, and comprises a major mixed-use development occupying 59.5 acres of redundant former goods yards land behind Kings Cross Station in Central London.
The eight million feet squared of construction delivers a major new office development, 2,500 residential units (private, affordable and mixed-tenure), an exciting and innovative retail offer that is mostly contained within existing historic structures, community facilities (such as schools and medical centers), a leisure center and an hotel.
Infrastructure works include remediation of former gas holder sites, major earthworks, relocation of London’s premier gas governor, a new Electricity sub-station, construction of a new internal road network and interfaces with existing public highways, services diversions, major new services installations with substantial off-site reinforcements, new high-quality public realm delivering public squares, private courtyards and upgraded canal tow paths.
This project will act as a catalyst for more regeneration in an area that will become a new transport hub, with vibrant residential communities and a thriving business population.
