Situated on the corner of St James’s Square and King Street, the new building will incorporate 94,000 sq ft of air-conditioned offices as well as six high-quality residential units.
Known as Cleveland House the development is of special significance to Kvaerner Trollope & Colls as it was built and occupied by the company in the sixties and lies just a few doors from Kvaerner Group’s main London HQ.
Demolition of the existing building has begun and construction of the new six-storey development will begin shortly. The new structure will incorporate a steel frame on piled foundations, with lightweight concrete floors and external finishes in Portland Stone cladding and brick.
Being constructed for a subsidiary of City & West End S.A. Properties the contract is due for completion in the Summer of 2000.
Cleveland House is the latest in a long line of developments undertaken in the West End by Kvaerner Trollope & Colls who’s portfolio includes Almack House, for London & Edinburgh Trust, and the new home of the Naval & Military Club, otherwise know as The "In & Out".
It is this long tradition of expertise, gained working in central London, which secured the crucial preliminary step in a two-stage competitive tendering process, resulting in Kvaerner Trollope & Colls being chosen to work with architect Treherne & Norman to produce a high quality building for a high profile site.
