90 Long Acre Covent Garden WC2E 9RA

Working alongside Lendlease, Ruddy can confirm they have completed contracted Fit-Out works on the 90 Long Acre, Covent Garden development. The works completed included the reception Fit Out to Ground floor & Joinery to floors, basement 2 to level 9. (In particular, metal door sets to BOH areas, timber door sets to core areas, kitchenette shelving and the reception desk and area).

The development sees the existing 90 Long Acre building undergo a complex structural alteration including replacing the current building’s corner block with a taller structure, filling two existing gaps in the building with two 10-storey infill blocks and adding two extra storeys onto another block. The building will continue to primarily provide office accommodation along with seven new retail units at street level.

A significant amount of the original building will be retained, reducing embodied carbon to half that of an equivalent new build development. This aligns with Lendlease setting itself stretching carbon targets, including a commitment to becoming a 1.5°C aligned company and achieving Absolute Zero Carbon, with no excuses and no offsets, by 2040.
