The Marylebone Cricket Club is understood to have shortlisted:
- Almacantar
- Capital & Counties
- Native Land
Londonnewcastle and Grosvenor UK, which were both interested, are now understood to be out of the chase.
The development, along the eastern side of the ground on Wellington Road, will substantially fund the first phase of MCC’s £400m ’Vision for Lord’s’.
In addition, the partner will work with MCC in making a planning application to Westminster City Council.
Subject to achieving planning permission, the aim is to start work on site after the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, when Lord’s will host the archery competition.
