Redevelopment of the Whiteley Grade II listed department store in Bayswater, transforming Queensway, bringing new shops, restaurants, and residences amongst other benefits. This huge restoration project includes construction of a deep three-level basement and a ten-storey superstructure mixed residential/retail space set behind retained and refurbished Grade II listed facades. There was an extensive steelwork package (5,500t), while the three-storey deep (22m) top-down basement excavated 238,000m3 of material. We also installed 15,000t of reinforcement and 80,000m3 concrete.
