Multiplex appointed contract for phase two of the Television Centre redevelopment

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM. Multiplex will deliver phase two of the Television Centre for Stanhope PLC and Mitsui Fudosan as Construction Management Partners. The scheme involves the construction of 345 luxury apartments across two adjacent plots, designed by Stirling prize-winning architectural practices dRMM and AHMM, with enabling works and site preparation works scheduled to commence in Q3 of 2023.

The two new residential buildings, constructed adjacent to the Grade II listed building at White City (phase one), which was previously the home of the BBC for 50 years before its relocation in 2013, delivers much needed housing to the area and further opens up the site to local residents, with a second entrance on Wood Lane and pedestrian connection through to Hammersmith Park. On completion of the enabling works, main construction is due to commence in 2024 and is expected to complete by 2026.

Callum Tucket, Managing Director of Multiplex said: “We are thrilled at the opportunity to work alongside Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan to manage and deliver Television Centre Phase 2. We share an aligned goal towards Net Zero construction solutions and we are extremely proud to have been appointed at this integral stage of the project. As a technically led business, our strength lies in constructing high quality major inner-city developments, and we look forward to completing the final piece of this iconic masterplan with our specialist residential team.”

Jonathan Trout, Property & Commercial Director at Stanhope said: “We are delighted to be working with Multiplex for the development of 345 new homes on this iconic site which we expect to complete by 2026. The start of phase 2 demonstrates the commitment of Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan to the delivery of much needed new housing, including affordable, in Hammersmith & Fulham and our long-term commitment to the area.”

Tomoo Nakamura, Chief Executive, Mitsui Fudosan, UK said: “We are delighted to announce our appointment of Multiplex and we look forward to working with them to bring forward the procurement of phase 2. As the sole owners of phase 2 we are also delighted to be able to continue to collaborate with Stanhope as development manager for the delivery of 345 new apartments. We have already completed over half a million square feet of office space as well as more than 430 homes on the Television Centre site. We remain focused on ensuring that this development continues to be delivered to the highest standards while we continue to explore other investment opportunities in London.”

Phase two follows the completion of phase one, a new mixed-use neighbourhood including residential, office and leisure uses.
