RED Construction Group has announced its appointment by Berkeley Estate Asset Management (BEAM) to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment of 8 Lancelot Place in Knightsbridge. Delivering the refurbishment is RED Construction Group’s Special Projects team, which will be undertaking some of the work while office tenants remain operational.
Spanning c. 3,252m2 the prominent office development is located at the corner of 8 Lancelot Place and 70 Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, opposite Grade II listed department store, Harrods. Set to undergo a substantial transformation, RED Special Projects will strip-out the current facilities to deliver a CAT A fit-out, across basement, reception, and levels two to seven. A new entrance, feature garden, glazing, and canopy – as well as refurbishment works to the level six terrace and roof – are also part of the project. MEP throughout will be enhanced, with the offices being served by high-efficiency all-electric systems at completion in line with BEAM’s sustainability requirements. It will also see RED Special Projects carrying out works on the live office building, with current tenants operational on levels two, three, and seven.
RED Construction Group’s appointment on 8 Lancelot Place marks its second partnership with BEAM, with 21-25 Bruton Place due to complete Q4 2024, offering a contemporary open-plan office space in the heart of Mayfair, alongside first-rate retail on the ground floor.
Nathan Farrar, Construction Director at RED Special Projects, commented: “Our team is well versed in delivering complex schemes, and the works required at 8 Lancelot Place – while many of the office tenants remain working as normal – plays to our strengths. BEAM’s decision to partner with RED Construction Group for a second project is a testament to the team’s extensive experience in delivering both high-quality office accommodation, and navigating unique and challenging logistics in the heart of London.”
The appointment follows RED Special Projects’ delivery of the new hub facilities for Merlin Entertainments, at LEGOLAND Windsor’s c. €41.7m Woodland Village. The project has added an on-site restaurant, industrial kitchen, entertainment space consisting of various play areas, and a stage and bar, to the internationally renowned destination.
