By GlobalDataMcLaren Construction Major Projects managing director John Butten was quoted by constructionenquirer as saying: “We are immensely proud of the strong and professional relationship we share with British Land.
“Our mutual understanding and shared values have seen our project portfolio grow progressively over the last 13 years, when we’ve delivered 26 varied projects.
“We’re very excited to embark on our 27th project for British Land, starting later this year. Aldgate Place is an excellent showcase project for McLaren Construction.”
Butten further added that the project demonstrates the company’s speciality in delivering residential as well as mixed‐use schemes with complexities.
In May this year, the company started work on a new service hub for West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) in Sandwell, the UK.
Property developer Stoford is delivering the 76,000ft2 purpose-built hub, which will house about 350 operational ambulance staff working 24 hours a day.
