Keltbray is presently on site and is expected to clear the way for phase one by next month allowing Carillion to start the major project next to the Little Britain offices.
The project is another major coup for Carillion, which is stepping up its activity in the Capital with several jobs on the go for Argent at King’s Cross and the first phase of apartments at the Battersea Power Station redevelopment.
