Mace completes London Victoria office development for Landsec

Mace, the international consultancy and construction company, has reached practical completion on n2, the latest addition to Landsec’s landmark Nova development in Victoria.

n2 has delivered 165,000 sq ft of prime office space on a severely constrained site whilst significantly improving the connectivity between Victoria’s Nova and Cardinal Place.

Located next to the Grade II listed Victoria Palace Theatre and directly above Victoria Underground station’s ticket hall and tunnels, the development faced multiple challenges that were overcome with considered design and close collaboration with an expert team comprising of Landsec, Mace, Lynch Architects, Aecom, G&T, and Robert Bird Group.

n2 is the penultimate phase of the Nova masterplan that has transformed Victoria into a leading destination for business, retail and leisure. With the demand for premium workspace in the area growing, n2 offers additional sustainable, curated office space.

Featuring offices across 16 floors, each with access to outdoor space in addition to a communal terrace and clubroom for all occupiers on Level 15, n2 has been designed with employee wellbeing, productivity, and collaborative working at its core.

Andy Jones, Managing Director for Major Projects at Mace, said:

“The completion of n2 is a key milestone in the transformation of London’s Victoria area – and we are honoured to have played a part in it. To deliver this challenging and highly technical Landsec project is a testament to the dedication of everyone involved on this build.

“From the client’s vision to the effort of each and every stakeholder, it is the mammoth team effort which has raised this phenomenal development from the ground. We are absolutely thrilled to be handing another top-quality development to Landsec.”

Oliver Knight, Head of Workplace at Landsec, said:

“Businesses are looking to invest in quality workspace where employees can make the most of their days in the office, both professionally and personally. With demand for spaces that offer this on the rise, n2 is a valuable addition to a supply constrained Victoria market.

“Well connected workplaces, supported by a host of leisure choices, and designed with wellbeing in mind, offer more than just a space to work, becoming somewhere that people want to spend time. It’s well known that employees want more than the ‘traditional’ office, and as employers look to retain and attract the best talent, demand for space in areas like Victoria will continue to grow.”

Practical completion of n2 follows hot on the heels of the opening of The Forge, Landsec’s first net zero office scheme located in Bankside – construction on that scheme was also led by Mace.
