Construction and consulting company Mace has been chosen by UK developer Stanhope and the Woolgate Exchange Unit Trust (WEUT) of Woolgate Exchange.

Architecture practice Stiff + Trevillion has reimagined the nine-storey building in London, newly called Woolgate, to cater to the requirements of modern occupiers.

The refurbishment plan covers the introduction of a new 1,500ft² rooftop pavilion that offer views of St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Square Mile’s tall building cluster.

The renovated building will have more than 20,000ft² total external terrace amenities, offering urban greening, biodiversity, and ample outdoor space on most upper floors.

A new entrance will be created on Coleman Street that will be complemented by a ‘pocket park’ and a new retail amenity. Furthermore, the present reception area leading onto Basinghall Street will be enlarged.

The project aims to achieve net-zero carbon in construction and operation due to the reuse and retention strategy, under which 98% of the current structure will be preserved.
