This contract follows on the heels of a £27 million contract awarded to Shepherd by Pantelli Associates last year for the construction of 27 luxury apartments on Park Road near Regent’s Park which are due to complete in 2013.
Work on this second 29-week contract is scheduled to begin this month and will include excavating a deeper basement to create sufficient space for a triple car-stacking system, creating a central lift core wrapped around by a staircase, and repairing the fabric and external finishes of the façade.
Mark Tant, Shepherd Construction’s managing director for the South Division commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Pantelli Associates again. Our experience in delivering projects within tight urban spaces will come to the fore on this project and will involve a complex scaffolding design and an efficient delivery system being put in place particularly as the site lies within the Congestion Charge Zone.”
Andrew Pantelli managing director of Pantelli Associates added: “We have been impressed with Shepherd Construction's professionalism and efficiency and are looking forward to working with them on this exciting high-end development.”
Shepherd Construction recently announced Mark Tant’s appointment as part of its strategy to expand across the South and South East. Other contracts being handled by the South Division include a £58 million new school at Holland Park, and a £110 million project to deliver new facilities for the Institute of Animal Health at Pirbright in Surrey.
The contractor has principal offices in London, Leeds and Manchester, a head office in York and regional offices in Birmingham and Darlington.
