Joint venture investors Aviva and Allianz Real Estate are bringing forward the 101 Moorgate project which will provide eight floors of grade A office space, above a mezzanine-level business lounge and retail spaces.

Orms Designers + Architects has designed the Moorgate oversite development with Atelier Ten on board as M&E consultant

Mace will be undertaking both the construction and category A fit-out on the 73,000 sq ft project.

Main construction will begin in October, with completion expected in September 2024.

The Moorgate over-station development will form part of the new Liverpool Street station Moorgate entrance.

Mace will make significant use of offsite solutions including the manufacture of precast concrete panels with double-glazed aluminium punched windows, fully assembled in a factory, further reducing the building’s carbon footprint.

Diesel-free in construction and fossil-fuel free in operation, the project will be fully electric using air-source heat pumps throughout, and photovoltaic panels – targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating upon completion.

A generous roof terrace, and additional outdoor areas at lower levels will provide green spaces to enhance wellbeing for occupants.

Mace’s managing director, commercial offices & residential, Ged Simmonds, said: “Not only is 101 Moorgate an exciting project right on our doorstep, but it’s our first project with Aviva and Alianz Real Estate. There is a common ambition to create a building that excels on all levels as a truly sustainable workplace for generations to come.”
