Delivering London’s Olympic promise

• Delivered an economic powerhouse, with £2.8bn generated in value to the local and national economy thanks to the Olympic and Paralympic 2012 games. 
• Sparked regeneration for the region, tackling the capital’s housing shortage by overseeing the creation of 10,000 homes and creating a new postcode; E20.  
• Designed a multi-functional stadium, innovative seating at the London Stadium allows for concerts, world-class athletics, rugby and football all to be hosted in one place.

Mace is proud to have been one of the few companies that has worked on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games from the capital's bid, right through to transforming the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and regenerating the east of London to create a lasting legacy. 

Together with our client, the London Legacy Development Corporation, we are managing the creation of a new and vibrant community with 10,000 new homes in the east of London. We have overseen the creation of new roads, footpaths and cycle routes to connect the park to the heart of the local community. The amount of parkland has been doubled to create the city's newest public park while converting the Games venues into world class community leisure facilities, which can also hold international sporting fixtures. 

Of course, the pinnacle at the centre of the vast site is the London Stadium itself. Project managed by Mace, the 80,000 capacity stadium has been transformed ahead of schedule, with the upper tier of seating removed and the lower tier seating replaced with a new movable tier that can accommodate both football and athletics. This has created a multi-purpose arena for athletics, concerts and a new home for West Ham United Football Club.
