Job at 120 Fleet Street worth more than £300m

Three firms are being interviewed this week for the latest mega-deal to come up for grabs on London’s Fleet Street.

Teams from Lendlease, Mace and Multiplex will be making their pitches for the design and build job at 120 Fleet Street, which has been designed by Bjarke Ingels Group.

The 21-storey block at the eastern end of the famous thoroughfare will have a series of stepped roof terraces and will involve demolishing the existing River Court Building, the former home of Goldman Sachs, which has moved to a Multiplex-built HQ around the corner.

Work will also include the refurbishment of the nearby Daily Express building, a grade II*-listed landmark, the former headquarters of the newspaper, and considered one of London’s finest art deco buildings.

Others working on the scheme include QS Alinea and development manager CO-RE.

The job has a price tag of more than £300m and is few hundred yards away from the so-called Justice Quarter, the £350m Eric Parry-designed judicial complex which Mace won in January for the City of London.
