Powering on in Battersea

Since it was decommissioned in 1983, Battersea Power Station had stood derelict on the south bank of the River Thames. Renowned for its four chimneys and art deco design, the iconic Grade II* listed building underwent a massive transformation, that now sees it restored as a mixed-use development, creating over 25,000 jobs.

This complex project opens the building and riverside to the public for the first time, retaining the power station's unique historical features but giving it a new 21st century purpose.

Having worked on early preparatory works, including the rebuilding of the chimneys, Mace was well placed to take over in August 2017 as construction manager for Phase 2 of the redevelopment – transforming the Power Station, and building an energy centre and six acre public riverside park.

As the cornerstone of the entire regeneration project, the Power Station includes approximately 100 new retail, food and beverage units, as well as a 2,000 capacity events venue and unique chimney lift experience. The Power Station now also provides c.500,000 sq ft of new office space, now home to Apple’s new London Campus, and 253 new residential homes.
