London-based construction firm, Collins, has successfully clinched a significant £20 million contract for an ambitious city office fit-out project.
Land Securities has selected Collins Construction to take on the job of remodelling 3 New Street Square for its flexible office space brand Myo.
The building near Fetter Lane, which has six floors, is being modified to have 65,000 square feet of office space. This will serve as a prominent location for Myo, and it will be their first time occupying an entire building.
The changes to the building will involve adding an extension to the roof, which will have a pavilion and a terrace. Collins will be responsible for fitting out all six floors, including creating an event space on the ground floor, a new reception area, and various workspaces.
Improvements to the building's existing structure will include expanding the elevators, updating the exterior appearance, upgrading all services, and modernizing the staircases and bathrooms.
Collins has previously worked on Myo's first two London locations at Dashwood in Liverpool Street and 123 Victoria Street.
Ryan Cleanthi, divisional director at Collins Construction, said: “Collins will maintain the very high standard of the Myo brand by delivering the space to WELL Platinum, after successfully delivering Myo Liverpool Street as the first Platinum rated flexible office space in the City of London. Our strong relationships with the design team and our supply chain has allowed us to create a robust programme that meets the challenging WELL criteria and will ultimately deliver a flexible workspace of the highest quality for Myo’s customers.”
Landsec projects director Charlie Railton said: “3 New Street Square will be our flagship flexible workspace in London and so it is of great reassurance to be working with Collins Construction and our other trusted partners on its delivery. The development is a prime example of how we’re creating flexible office solutions through high-quality, sustainable refurbishment and fit out schemes that upgrade existing buildings and support our customers and their employees’ evolving needs.”
