H&H wins Park Lane job


Higgs and Hill has won a major design and build contract, thought to be worth around œ20 million, to build luxury apartments in London's exclusive Park Lane.

The existing Brook House, owned by the Duke of Westminster's Grosvenor Estates, is to be demolished. Normally demolition would be out of the question, but an exception has been made because the building is full of asbestos. The new building will be eight-storeys high with basement car parking.

The lease has been sold to an unknown buyer, who has formed a company to redevelop the site into a series of luxury apartments.

Ascot Demolition is to demolish the existing Brook House, floor by floor, after a sister company has been employed to remove the asbestos. The demolition will be done under a 14 week fast track contract.

A crane was moved on site last weekend.
