Chasing the blues

James Longley has been awarded a œ25 million contract to build five major projects for Chelsea Village at Stamford Bridge in London. Longley will construct a 6,500-seater stand for Chelsea Football Club with 400-seat dinning and viewing gallery. The award follows the completion of the underground car park and North West Stand by Longley.

In front of the new stand a ten-storey, 160-bed hotel will be built with its own restaurant, conference facilities and three other themed restaurants. Chelsea FC will gain a 2,208m2 office and 920m2 Club Mega Store, while adjacent to the store a nine-storey, 24-flat apartment block will be constructed.
