“The One and Two New Ludgate development is next to England’s most famous court, the Old Bailey. The two buildings provide 35,210sqm of commercial office, retail and restaurant space. In 2013, Land Securities appointed Skanska as the main contractor to design and construct New Ludgate, including the mechanical and electrical fit-out of selected floors and the creation of a public space. Two different construction methods were used for each of the 10-storey structures, which were both completed ahead of schedule. One New Ludgate is a steel-framed building, with Two New Ludgate using a concrete frame. Skanska project director, John Birch, said: ‘The main challenges were constructing two completely different buildings to a very short programme, with one delivery entrance, in a busy London site opposite the Old Bailey.’” (One and Two New Ludgate, Skanska)
