The developer said: “At Cityside House, E1, having improved the design we inherited, we have now stripped out the building, commenced demolition and awarded the main construction contract.
“Our activities will transform the existing building into 74,700 sq ft of Grade A office and retail space.
“We are targeting average office rents across the building of around £51.40 per sq ft, with delivery expected in Q4 2019 following the opening of the nearby Whitechapel Crossrail station.”
Construction information specialist Glenigan has recently confirmed Ellmer as main contractor with John F Hunt carrying out demolition work.
