Demolition underway at 拢350m scheme
Developer Sellar has said it will draw up a shortlist of firms to carry out main construction work on architect Renzo Piano鈥檚 拢350m Paddington Square scheme this autumn.
Kent firm Erith has begun demolition work on what will be the largest construction job in west London in the coming years.
Erith鈥檚 拢6m contract is due to finish at the end of the year ahead of piling and enabling works starting on the office and retail scheme early next year.
A piling contractor will be appointed next month ahead of a shortlist of firms for the main construction contract.
Firms expected to be interested include Mace, Multiplex and Lendlease with a winner due next January.
A contractor for a new 拢40m ticket hall for the Bakerloo line station at Paddington will also be announced this autumn ahead of work starting early next year.
As well as the 14-storey office block (pictured), which is also next door to St Mary鈥檚 Hospital, Piano鈥檚 plans include retail and restaurant space along with a new public square.
