Developer FEC鈥檚 80,000m2 Consort Place scheme will include 495 new contemporary apartments, a 231-room hotel and health centre, and the reinstatement of the North Pole public house.
鈥淛RL is delighted to have been appointed construction partner for the piling and basement works,鈥� said Kevin Keegan, director at JRL Group. 鈥淚t鈥檚 particularly exciting to be 鈥� quite literally 鈥� breaking new ground with FEC to bring to life a development which will invigorate the area, whilst protecting the legacy and integrity of its East End community-focused roots.鈥�
The development will be spread across two tower buildings of 65 and 35 storeys. The east tower will include 鈥榩remium鈥� and the hotel and health centre, while the west tower will be home to 125 affordable apartments.
鈥淭he area is known as one of London鈥檚 major financial districts and, as a developer, FEC saw scope to add to the local lifestyle by incorporating a range of on-site amenities for residents, visitors and local people,鈥� said Consort Place project director for FEC, Bruno Almeida Santos. 鈥淲e believe that a responsible development such as this should put community at its heart to help it grow and thrive.鈥�
Both the residential properties and the hotel at Consort Place are designed by UK-based architect, Pilbrow & Partners.聽 Interiors will be completed by Hirsch Bedner Associates and the four-star hotel will be managed by Dorsett.
