MSD building currently going up on London鈥檚 Euston Road

Sisk has beaten Mace and ISG to land the fit out deal on an office and life sciences centre opposite King鈥檚 Cross station in London.

Mace is carrying out the 拢150m shell and core deal, which will be the UK headquarters of global healthcare giant MSD.

But its hopes of extending its role there have been dashed after it was pipped by Sisk to the 拢125m fit-out contract.

How the new building, designed by AHMM, will look

ISG, which missed out on the shell and core deal, was also battling for the job but the race is thought to have narrowed to a fight between Mace and Sisk, which carries out a substantial amount of similar work in Ireland.

Developer Precis Group鈥檚 10-storey building, which has been designed by architect AHMM, is being built on a former Access self-storage warehouse on the Euston Road.

Precis said laboratories make up around 40% of the building鈥檚 total floorspace with associated office, research and 鈥榳rite-up鈥� space at levels four to nine.

MSD, which is known as Merck in the US and Canada, is the only tenant of the building.
