Lendlease has won Mitsubishi Estate’s planned £300m office tower project in the City of London, after stepping up efforts to win work outside of its parent property company.
The 50-storey tower at 6-8 Bishopsgate follows on from a £500m hotel and luxury flats tower project at 150 Bishopsgate secured in 2016.
This building now known as Bishopsgate Plaza will be home to a Pan Pacific Hotel and is due for completion late next year.
Lendlease beat Mace and McAlpine to take Mitsubishi’s landmark office project, which has been designed by WilkinsonEyre, and will rise to nearly the same height as the Cheesgrater.
The firm was always favourite to take the job after a long-association with Mitsubishi Estates on several other projects.
It is also understood that Chinese-owed facade contractor Permasteelisa has picked up the £40m-plus cladding contract for the 570,000 sq ft building, which will consist of three rotated blocks and rise to the same height as the Cheesegrater.
