Contractor named for Pall Mall office redevelopment

Specialist main contractor RED Construction Group has been appointment to deliver the £31M redevelopment of 55 Pall Mall in central London.

The company will oversee the construction of a new office development behind a retained and renovated façade.

The development will see the construction of a new building comprising of basement, ground, and seven storeys, with terraces at fifth, sixth and seventh-floor levels.

The existing foundations and basement are reused to reduce embodied carbon, while the project team said the upfront embodied carbon for the scheme is expected to be below 550kg CO2e/m².

Highlighting the scheme’s sustainability credentials, a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and an EPC A rating are being targeted.

Tony O’Farrell, Operations Director at RED Construction London, commented: “This key project at the heart of London’s Pall Mall is a prime example of RED Construction London’s expertise in reimagining iconic historical buildings for modern-day commercial use. The development of 55-58 Pall Mall and 1-4 Crown Passage will call on our team’s experience in the retention and restoration of heritage features, as we reinstate the building’s impressive façade. We are delighted to have been appointed and look forward to working with the brilliant team across this project.”
