Skanska is to build the St Giles Circus development in the West End of London for developer Consolidated Developments. The contract is worth £142m.
The scheme combines retail, leisure and entertainment spaces, commercial offices and residential accommodation across four new and a number of existing buildings.
The largest of the new buildings incorporates an innovative, retractable facade on its middle floors, revealing an urban gallery that will be open to the public at street level. The building’s foundations straddle the Crossrail tunnel, above which the team will construct an underground “box within a box” to contain an auditorium.
