Mace to revamp former Bloomberg office in City of London

摘要

Mace has won the deal to refurbish the former offices of Bloomberg on Finsbury Square in the City of London. The firm is understood to have beaten ISG to the job at City Gate House which was designed in 1930 by Frederick Gould and Battersea Power Station architect Giles Gilbert Scott and originally built as a club for BP. The scheme, which has been renamed the Gilbert, is being developed by Brookf ield and is understood to have a pricetag of around £60m. Mace, which recently completed work on Microsoft's flagship store on Oxford Street, which opened last Thursday, has signed a pre-construction services agreement for the Stiff + Trevillion-designed scheme. The nine-storey City Gate House sits within the Bunhill Fields and Finsbury Square conservation areas and is linked to 50 Finsbury next door, which was also occupied by Bloomberg. This link will be removed as part of the strip-out process. As well as extra office space, the job will involve adding more cycle spaces and shower facilities as well as trimming down the amount of space taken up by plant.
