Construction of a single-storey basement box, partly situated above a live London Underground tunnel, and bordered on one side by Tottenham Hale station, and existing buildings to the others.

Construction of a 34 story jump-formed core and concrete frame, the first 6 levels of which are acoustically separated from the basement structure due to the adjacent London Underground line.

GCL will also be providing the tower cranes for the duration of the project.
