Bam has landed the contract to build the latest major office development at Argent鈥檚 King鈥檚 Cross scheme, Three Pancras Square, which is worth around 拢40m, 黑洞社区 understands.

Three Pancras Square is a 160,000 sqft office building with 13,000 sqft of shops and restaurants at ground level.

The Porphyrious Associates designed building won planning from Camden Council last week.

The building will contain ten floors of offices built around a single core. Construction of Three Pancras Square will commence later in 2014, with the building expected to be completed in summer 2016.

The building will sit at the corner of King鈥檚 Boulevard and Goods Way, overlooking the Regent鈥檚 Canal, with its main entrance on Pancras Square.

Nick Searl, partner at Argent, said: 鈥淲e are creating an attractive and accessible work place, in a building that does justice to its surroundings.

鈥淭hree Pancras Square is the next piece of the Pancras Square puzzle and sits in close proximity to the Regent鈥檚 Canal and some of the area鈥檚 most striking heritage features.鈥�

Demetri Porphyrios, principal of Porphyrios Associates, said: 鈥淥ne of the most pivotal places to build in the King鈥檚 Cross masterplan is the northern tip of the King鈥檚 Boulevard. This tree-lined street runs from King鈥檚 Cross station and St Pancras International, over the Regent鈥檚 Canal to Granary Square, home to Central Saint Martins.

鈥淥ur design for Three Pancras Square is inspired by the robust repetition and change that both late 19th century industrial buildings and contemporary office buildings exhibit. We also wanted to build in a manner that celebrates precast stone, with its large tectonic scale and the attendant windows of glazed 鈥榞aps鈥�. All found in the wonderful industrial world of King鈥檚 Cross鈥�.
