Developer Stanhope, Mitsui Fudosan and AIMCo said construction will start immediately on 1 Wood Crescent on the west side of the Television Centre campus.
The £60m building will offer 111,765 sq ft of prime office space and will include multiple terraces as well as a ground floor reception and café, all with views over Hammersmith Park and the surrounding White City area.
It has been designed by architects Morris + Company and construction is due to be completed in early 2023.
Around 70% of the contract will be completed by Laing O’Rourke’s in-house specialist trading businesses, and the build will rely heavily on the company’s DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) approach.
Components, including twin wall, columns, stairs, facades and MEP plant, will be digitally designed and precision manufactured off site before being assembled on site in White City.
This means the CAT A fit-out can take place just two floors below the floor slabs as construction progresses upwards.
A lease agreement has been signed with PVH Corp – parent company to brands including Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger – to relocate its UK headquarters to the top five floors.
