8 South Crescent, Canning Town is now completed. It is a transformation of the industrial unit with a new and improved facade giving the building a dynamic and unique look.
This detached Industrial logistics unit is being fully refurbished with new ventilation and VRF comfort cooling and space heating systems for the office and reception areas, complete with new LED lighting installations.
The roof has been fitted with solar PV panels. The solar PV panels will provide enough renewable electricity to offset the annual operation of all internal lighting.
The unit is located in South Crescent off Cody Road within Canning Town, approximately 3 miles east of The City, in the London Borough of Newham. The area enjoys easy access to the A13 which in turn provides a swift route to Docklands, The City, A12/A102 (Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach) to the west and the North Circular Road (A406) and M25 to the east.
The MEP services were all replaced with a focus on energy efficiency using air source heat pumps, LED lighting and natural ventilation where possible.
Watkins Payne reviewed a number of mechanical and electrical options with the team, focusing on retention of key central plant, overhaul and replacement of plant where required, and LED lighting to reduce energy and improve the office environment.
The Grade II listed 21 St James’ Square building has been refurbished to offer 89,000ft² of high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering, energy consultancy to achieve an BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and EPC B rating.
Situated in Southwark on the intersection of Great Suffolk Street and Union Street, the iconic red brick Union House, historically a warehouse converted into offices, has undergone a substantial redevelopment.
