Project Description:

​

64-66 Wigmore St is a new self-contained office building located in the heart of London that was developed to provide approximately 55,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation across 7 floors inclusive of a double basement.

​

Richmond was contracted to carry out the bulk excavation of the double basement. Richmond also installed the reinforced concrete basement floor slab, foundations and walls up to ground level.
