Surrey-based contractor Blenheim House Construction has been awarded the main construction contract for 25 Moorgate and the new upper floor terraces

Barings acquired the building for £71m in March 2022.

Architects Morrow + Lorraine’s design for the 80,000 sq ft building will target BREEAM Outstanding certification, an EPC A rating, WiredScore Platinum accreditation, and Nabers 4.5 Star rating.

Paul Smith, Director, UK Real Estate Asset Management, at Barings, said: “25 Moorgate is set to be an excellent example of the results that can be achieved from a comprehensive refurbishment of a building to create a best-in-class ESG product, with a targeted BREEAM rating of Outstanding that will put it in the top 1% of the UK’s most sustainable buildings.”
