Aviva Investors and Allianz Real Estate have appointed Mace as the main contractor for the 101 Moorgate development in the City of London EC2.

The over-station development will provide eight floors of grade A office space, as well as a mezzanine-level business lounge and retail spaces.

Mace will take on both the construction and category A fit-out. The works are expected to start in October 2022 with completion due in September 2024.

Mace’s Managing Director, Commercial Offices & Residential, Ged Simmonds, commented: “We are proud that Mace will be playing a key role in Aviva Investors’ vision for 101 Moorgate. Not only is 101 Moorgate an exciting project right on our doorstep, but it’s our first project with Aviva and Alianz Real Estate. There is a common ambition to create a building that excels on all levels as a truly sustainable workplace for generations to come.”

James Stevens, Head of Real Estate Investment at Aviva Investors, said:
“Our intention is for 101 Moorgate to be considered the leading development of its kind, providing occupants with a building of the highest quality whilst also incorporating environmental and sustainability credentials. We have set high targets for those elements of the project and believe the experience and expertise Mace brings will be a key contributor to delivering on our ambition.”

Kari Pitkin, Head of Business Development Europe at Allianz Real Estate, commented: “We remain convinced that future-oriented office buildings, strongly located close to key transport nodes in talent pool cities will continue to be an attractive long-term investment. With Mace now on board as contractor for 101 Moorgate, we look forward to the construction and delivery of this high-quality, user-focused and highly sustainable office asset.”
