A star-studded revival for the icon Television Centre

• Transformed the iconic BBC Television Centre into a vibrant mixed-use development comprised of 950 spacious homes and 434 apartments. 

• Utilised prefabrication and off site assembly of components, resulting in a reduction in time, standardised quality, and health and safety benefits.  

• Sustainability was imperative to the development to align with the client’s goals, highlighting our commitment to net zero we achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating.

The iconic Television Centre in West London underwent a remarkable transformation, blending history with modernity. Mace collaborated with English Heritage to meticulously refurbish the Grade II-listed Helios building, courtyard, and Studio One's atomic dot wall, preserving their original charm. 

The redevelopment created a vibrant mixed-use destination, featuring 950 new homes, including 434 apartments in the first phase. The project also retained film and production studios, continuing the site's legacy. Mace's innovative approach maximised prefabrication and off-site assembly, enhancing quality and safety while reducing time and costs. 

Sustainability was a key focus, achieving BREEAM 'Excellent' certification and implementing a bee box scheme, making Television Centre home to three bee colonies. The project also had a significant social impact, creating a 'Routeway to Construction Training Scheme' with City of Westminster College, supporting local employment, and placing 100 apprentices across the supply chain. 

Mace's strong partnerships and early engagement with the supply chain ensured efficient project delivery. The utilities team developed a robust plan to prevent delays and accommodate the BBC's live studio on site. The redevelopment not only revitalised a historic landmark but also breathed new life into the local community, setting a new standard for urban regeneration.
