Contract Summary:
79-86 Chancery lane is a 5 storey building constructed over a single storey basement and is located within the London Borough of Camden. The existing building, which was constructed in the late 1980’s, generally provided mixed use accommodation consisting of storage/ services plant rooms at basement, retail units at ground floor level and office accommodation on the upper floors.
The project was to refurbish and upgrade the commercial office element of the building to BCO category A and to maximise the net lettable floor space. The existing residential apartments were demolished allowing the area to be returned to office, and five new apartments were provided at first floor. Six new retail units were also created at ground floor level.
