McLaren Construction has been appointed by developer\u00a0Global Holdings Management Group to build its 100,000 sq ft Xylo building in Clerkenwell<\/p>\n

The nine-storey scheme in central London will be the UK\u2019s largest all-timber frame office building.<\/p>\n

Following the completion of enabling works, McLaren will now work alongside architects Piercy&Co, project manager Avison Young, services and sustainability engineers Max Fordham, and structural and civil engineers Heyne Tillett Steel, to deliver the project by Q2 2028.<\/p>\n

Xylo will be one of the most advanced environmentally sensitive buildings in the world. Its glulam beams and cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure are being supplied by Hybrid Structures, a William Hare Group company.<\/p>\n

Darren Gill, Managing Director for London & South at McLaren Construction, said: \u201cThis is a pioneering use of structural timber and off-site manufacturing to deliver a high level of buildability and sustainability on a typically tight central London site.<\/p>\n

“The result will be a landmark project that redefines what a sustainable, healthy workplace can be. Rigorous digital information management systems enable us to monitor carbon emissions as the project progresses and ensure that it comfortably meets its ambitious targets.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Xylo is going to be the perfect building for companies that are leaders in their fields, showcasing the most environmentally friendly technologies in a truly beautiful building, underpinned by a vibrant neighbourhood and abundant transport links.\u201d<\/p>\n
