Galliford Try lands £87m commercial jobs in London

The first project involves the £53 million redevelopment of 30-33 Sloane Street for  property manager Cadogan Estates. 

The project will retain the historic façade while constructing a six-storey building featuring:

• Luxury retail units
• Grade A office space
• Rooftop restaurant with views across London.

The development adds to Cadogan’s £46 million transformation of the Sloane Street public realm.

The second project is a £34 million contract with Big Yellow Self Storage to deliver a new 133,000 sq ft facility in Wapping, East London. 

The part five- and part eight-storey building, with a lower ground floor fronting The Highway, will feature a self-storage facility alongside flexible office and workspace accommodation, completed to Cat B standard.

 The project includes:

• Piled foundations
• Reinforced concrete
• Structural steel superstructure
• Brickwork and glazed façades
• Composite deck roof.

The project is targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating and the site holds historical significance, and archaeological mitigation works will be undertaken as part of the construction process.

These contract wins follow another year of growth for the contractor, with a surge in revenue and more than treble in pre-tax profit, in its latest financial results.

Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2024 increased 27.2 per cent to £1.8 billion from £1.4 billion the previous year, generating a pre-tax profit of £30.9 million, 205.9 per cent higher than 2023 with £10.1 million.

Bill Hocking, chief executive of Galliford Try, said: “Maintaining the organic growth of our Building business is a key part of our Sustainable Growth Strategy, and our track record in the commercial sector within London is a strong one. 

“We look forward to working with both these blue-chip clients to create schemes that we can be proud of and that enhance the local environment.”
