Midcity Place

Introducing new production methods in the delivery of a major new workplace

This mixed-use development provides 318,000 sq ft of offices and 32,000 sq ft of retail space in a key workplace and retail space in Holborn’s commercial centre.
For Midcity Place, Stanhope used car production techniques learned from the Jaguar factory in Coventry to optimise the construction process. This research meant the building was delivered within 57 weeks, a rate double the average industry speed.
This project was undertaken with Bovis Lend Lease, Waterman Group, and Roger Preston & Partners.
