Mace has been appointed principal contractor to deliver a fully-electric Moorgate over-station development to provide grade A office space in London
The Moorgate over-station development, being delivered for Aviva Investors and Allianz Real Estate, will sit above the Hammersmith & City line, at the heart of the new Elizabeth Line complex.
The 10-storey building will provide eight floors of grade A office space, as well as a mezzanine-level business lounge and retail spaces. It will also feature a roof terrace and additional outdoor areas at lower levels.
101 Moorgate will form part of the new Liverpool Street station’s Moorgate entrance and a new covered walkway will be created to provide public access between Moorgate and Moorfields.
The building has been designed in close consultation with the Crossrail engineering team.

The project will be fully electric using air-source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels.
Offsite solutions will be used including the manufacture of precast concrete panels with double-glazed aluminium punched windows.
Mace’s managing director, commercial offices & residential, Ged Simmonds, said: “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, added: “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, added: “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.”
Construction will begin in October 2022, with completion expected in September 2024.
