Dutch developer Edge and Goldman Sachs Asset Management have contracted Mace to build a 260,000 sq ft office building on the site of Becket House at 60 St Thomas Street in London SE1.

Funding for the development 鈥� reportedly amounting to roughly 拢600m 鈥� comes from Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) and The London Fund (a collaboration between Local Government Pension Scheme investment pools, LPPI and London CIV) as well as Goldman Sachs.
Fons van Dorst, Edge鈥檚 UK managing director UK, said: 鈥淓dge London Bridge will be a flagship scheme for the city that can set a new bar for sustainability in London offices鈥� Mace鈥檚 role as contractor will be pivotal in helping us to make construction of this scheme more efficient.鈥�
