Northcare has been chosen as the preferred bidder by Multiplex for the £400 million design and build contract to redevelop a previous New Scotland Yard location in Westminster, London. The scheme secured its planning consent in 2016 and it will see the 1.72 acre mixed-use development feature six towers rising from 14 to 20 storeys, offering 268 apartments and 142,000 ft2 of commercial and retail space.

Moreover, the Broadway development project will have a new thoroughfare connecting Victoria Street to St James’s Park tube station. The towers will provide views of The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, St James’s Park, Horse Guards Parade and Green Park.

“We are delighted to announce the selection of Multiplex as our preferred main contractor to deliver this landmark development in central London,” said Northcare development director for Broadway, David Harman. “This is a major milestone for the project and demonstrates our commitment to delivering a world-class, vibrant destination located in one of the capital’s most exciting areas.”

The development was designed by Squire + Partners, while Robert Bird Group were chosen as the structural engineer and Keltbray was chosen to deliver enabling works and piling package for the site.

“We look forward to working alongside Multiplex to realise our vision and see them forge ahead with construction. To date, all milestones have been delivered ahead of programme, from securing planning consent in 2016, completing demolition of the existing 1960’s 22-storey building in 2017 and more recently finishing the piling phase in June 2018,” David Harman added.

Work on the project will begin by next January and is expected to be completed in December 2021.
