Work has started on the final phase of TRIBECA- London’s largest purpose-built life sciences campus located in the King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter.
G&T is providing Cost Management, Project Management and Employer’s Agent services on the development which includes high-quality workspace, state-of-the-art laboratories, homes, shops and restaurants, as well as its very own campus square, green spaces and associated amenities.
"Having been involved in the project since inception and now that Apex, the first phase of TRIBECA is nearing completion, we are excited to be working on this final phase, helping to create a world-leading destination for bioscience research and development”.Richard Harris
Partner, G&T
The Reflector, The Assembly and The Connector buildings will deliver state-of-the-art lab spaces, with facilities designed for life science businesses ranging from discovery science through to international pharmaceutical companies. The buildings will have direct entrances to the new TRIBECA square, as well as accommodating new shops, restaurants and rooftop terraces. The final phase of the works also includes a 12-storey residential building, which will deliver both private and affordable homes.
All the buildings will be delivered to the highest sustainability and connectivity design standards, in accordance with the principles of the London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) and will achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and a WiredScore ‘Platinum’ rating.
Peter Langley-Smith, Development Director at Reef Group, said: “Starting work on Phase 2 of TRIBECA brings us closer to completing this new and exciting life sciences ecosystem at the heart of the Knowledge Quarter in King’s Cross. TRIBECA will deliver world class facilities and strengthen the UK’s life sciences offer, allowing it to grow and increase its international competitiveness. There is no better place for our country’s businesses to thrive than in the midst of other leaders in science exploration and technology.”
