McLaughlin & Harvey has landed the £50m contract for a deep retrofit of the former Pinners Hall at 108 Old Broad Street in the City of London.

Development manager Patrizia confirmed the award with work starting this month and practical completion targeted for August 2027.

Planning consent achieved in November will see the 1990s building transformed into a modern, highly sustainable destination in the heart of London’s financial district containing 120,000 sq ft of high-quality workspace.

Works include sixth- and seventh-floor extensions, culminating in a new seventh-floor pavilion and large communal landscaped terrace. Ten landscaped terraces will be introduced across the upper floors, alongside a new ground floor café and enhanced reception.

The scheme has been designed by Stiff + Trevillion, with Quartz acting as project manager, Gardiner & Theobald as quantity surveyor, and Montagu Evans advising on planning.

Chris Collins, Pre-Construction Director at McLaughlin & Harvey, commented: “We are proud to partner with PATRIZIA on a redevelopment that combines significant structural interventions with ambitious sustainability targets. Our focus will be on delivering the extensions and all-electric building strategy to the highest quality standards while maintaining programme certainty in a busy City environment.”
