French contractor Legendre UK has been appointed by developer W.RE and joint venture partner Taurus UK to build a new 46,000 sq ft office scheme in London’s Parsons Green following a single-stage tender.

Designed by TateHindle architects, the development will feature six floors of flexible office and amenity space, spanning from the basement to the fourth floor. The building will include accessible roof terraces on the third and fourth floors, with planting across levels two to four.

Work starts this month and will involve the demolition of the existing office block on site with Legendre UK acting as main contractor and a co-investor. Completion is scheduled for Q3 2026.

Thomas Vandecasteele, Managing Director at Legendre UK, said: “This appointment builds on Legendre UK’s expertise in delivering complex commercial schemes across London, continuing to strengthen our co-investment strategy alongside key and trusted partners.

“Acting as both contractor and co-investor demonstrates the added value that Legendre UK can bring.”

Tanguy Guerer, Head of Pre-Construction at Legendre UK, added: “Our proposed value engineering included in our tender were well received by W.RE, allowing us to maximise cost efficiency on the project whilst still ensuring a high-quality outcome.”

Elliott Wood has been appointed as the Structural Engineer, Exigere as the Quantity Surveyor and B&CO as the Project Manager.
