London commercial scheme looks set to go ahead after economic downturn forced a delay

Kohn Pedersen Fox鈥檚 60 Holborn Viaduct scheme in London is being marketed again after being put on hold during the economic downturn.

The developer Favermead said a start on site date for the 20,006m2 commercial development is dependent on securing a pre-let agreement.

The building, which will replace Bath House, has been designed to achieve a BREEAM rating of 鈥楨xcellent鈥.

John Bushell, KPF鈥榮 Principal in charge of the project commented: 鈥60 Holborn Viaduct is an important addition to this part of London which has been subject to proposals for redevelopment in the past few years.

鈥淚t鈥檚 鈥榬eturn鈥 is a response to the current commercial office market in London, particularly the need for high specification, sustainable and flexible offices spaces which can be adapted to  accommodate multiple tenants.
