More London

Accommodating high profile tenants GLA, Ernst and Young and PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and setting new standards for community engagement, the More London development created a vibrant business community on the south bank of the Thames. Mace was appointed by More London in 1999 to manage the overall programme and provide a construction management service on City Hall and subsequent plots. From the development’s centrepiece, City Hall, to the final plot, each project pushed the envelope in some way, from new engineering techniques to pioneering social inclusion programmes and impressive sustainability credentials.

City Hall is one of the most energy efficient and sustainable structures in the capital and Plot Seven was the first building in the UK to receive a BREEAM outstanding rating. Throughout the development, Mace was responsible for construction logistics and ensuring that optimal value and efficiency was achieved. The creation of a comprehensive programming strategy for the whole development included risk analysis, logistics phasing, cash flow revenue planning and a letting strategy. Throughout the ten-year programme, Mace organised the logistics such that public access was maintained to the extent that major events could be hosted including theatre productions and music festivals. A social inclusion programme was launched at More London, from which hundreds of local people benefitted through training and employment opportunities.
