Birmingham-based building services provider J S Wright has won a
contract valued at over £600,00 to fit out 4,500 sq m of
office and retail units for a new luxury apartment scheme in
London.
The company, which launched its first London office this year,
will be designing, installing and commissioning all the mechanical
services for the 15 office and retail units at the Central Square
development near the Barbican.
Specialist London property developer Mount Anvil awarded J S
Wright the contract following its £4.5-million commission
last year for the company to equip the scheme's 274 apartments with
a range of services including a combined heat and power plant.
J S Wright has begun work this month (October) installing
heating & cooling, hot & cold water and drainage services
as well as air conditioning and extract ventilation for the
development's commercial units, with completion scheduled for June
2012.
Trace heating, thermal insulation and automated building
management system controls will also be provided by the
company.
The office and retail units are to be integral to the Central
Square scheme - a mix of one- to three-bed apartments in seven
blocks of between five to ten storeys funded by Allied Irish
Bank.
J S Wright has built up a strong association with Mount Anvil,
having been awarded six residential contracts in London worth a
total in excess of £10 million by the developer over the past
five years, resulting in more than 850 new homes.
Keith Ward, Contracts Manager for Mount Anvil, said: "We chose
JS Wright for the commercial element of this mixed tenure scheme
because of the outstanding quality of its design and installation
work on the residential aspects of the development."
Marcus Aniol, JS Wright Managing Director, said: "We are
delighted to be providing our experience and expertise in
both residential and commercial construction for one of London's
newest mixed-use developments."
