The redevelopment of Broadgate

The ten-year redevelopment of Broadgate aims to transform central London’s largest pedestrianised neighbourhood into a world-class, mixed-use destination.

To realise their vision, British Land wanted a main contractor who could not only deliver, but who would help them make the most of opportunities for collaboration, community engagement and commercial savings.

As sole contractor on the 10-year Broadgate Framework, stakeholder and community engagement is key to the long-term success of the project. We’re keeping local transport providers, businesses and professionals updated through well-planned communications and creative technology.

We’re committed to sustainable construction practices at Broadgate. We’re monitoring and managing emissions and ensuring a legacy in the community by providing skills and opportunities for local communities where possible.

A multi-site redevelopment framework

100 Liverpool Street

We started with 100 Liverpool Street, creating new offices, restaurants and shops, all in an eco-friendly building.

1 Finsbury Avenue

We’re refurbishing 1 Finsbury Avenue to create contemporary offices and adding shops, restaurants, and cinema to make this a 24/7 destination.

135 Bishopsgate

And we’ve begun updating offices and reshaping public areas in and around 135 Bishopsgate where we’re also creating retail space for Italian food hall brand Eataly.

3 Broadgate

Now we’ve started on a £6.5m marketing suite at 3 Broadgate.

The Broadgate Vision

With future plans to include more offices, retail and leisure spaces, the Broadgate vision is already becoming a reality.

The Broadgate Vision

Shared Values

Trust, Honesty and Collaboration: it’s the mantra for all at the Broadgate framework. It’s even printed on our notebooks.

Greening Cities

100 Liverpool’s Street’s landscaped outdoor terraces will provide social areas while attracting more birds, butterflies and bees to Broadgate.

Celebrating Heritage

The Grade II Listed 1 Finsbury Avenue is being sympathetically restored to retain its original design and features.

Air Freshening

We won an environmental prize for our commitment to monitoring and reducing emissions over the development period.

Long-term legacy

We’re maximise the positive impact of the framework through a 10-year community investment programme.

A one team approach to working with our client and supply chain

Our framework and project teams share offices with the client, consultants and subcontractors to make communication and collaboration as easy as possible. This makes sure every project in the 10-year programme achieves high standards. We’re also saving money through economies of scale on non-architectural building features.

The framework means we can share our expertise and learn from experiences through a one-team approach. The entire project benefits from agile collaboration practices and helps us identify ways we can save our client time and money.

We’re saving time and reducing risk by standardising approaches to every project in the framework. It means everyone is clear on their responsibilities.

Sharing our approach to sustainable resourcing, ethical employment and diversity

We work with a trusted network of suppliers who share our values on issues such as apprenticeships, fairness, and respect, and have been briefed on our commitments to sustainable resourcing, ethical employment, and inclusion.

The Broadgate App: A digital solution to Stakeholder Engagement and Community Communications

Thousands of businesses and professionals operate in and around Broadgate every day. Given the project’s extent and duration, it has been critical to keep our neighbours updated.

To boost stakeholder engagement and community communications, we worked with British Land to create a smartphone app. Using this, tenants, retail leisure and office operators, as well as external stakeholders and members of the general public, can easily:

Find out about project plans, milestones and timeframes.
See where works are happening on a 3D interactive map,
Set up notifications for potential disturbances.
Send comments or questions to our team.
Keep up to date with events, retail offers, job and training opportunities

Providing work experience opportunities for local students

Working with the University of East London, we organised a competition for local architecture students to design a welfare facility consisting only of materials salvaged from the building at 1 Finsbury Avenue. Then we offered paid work experience opportunities to help create their designs.

Reducing environmental impact

Reducing the environmental impact of our operations is integral to all we do. That’s why we’ve been monitoring air quality across the estate since the programme began. Addressing this ongoing problem for the City of London has won us awards. We’re encouraging the reduction of pollution in our supply chain by reporting on diesel emissions across all of our subcontracts.
