About the event
Lansdowne House, located in the heart of Mayfair, London, is a landmark 10-storey commercial development that will deliver high-quality office, retail, and plant space within one of the capital’s most prestigious business districts. The scheme has been designed to provide a modern, sustainable, and flexible working environment that meets the needs of future occupiers while enhancing the surrounding urban landscape.
The development will provide approximately 226,280 sq. ft. of Grade A office accommodation, complemented by 17,847 sq. ft. of retail space and 25,241 sq. ft. of plant space. These spaces have been carefully designed to create a premium mixed-use environment that supports both commercial activity and visitor experience.
At the heart of the building is a robust concrete sway frame superstructure, combined with a flexible and reusable core. This innovative approach enables adaptable floorplates that can be reconfigured to meet changing business requirements, supporting the building’s long-term sustainability and operational efficiency.
Architecturally, Lansdowne House will feature a striking and elegant façade that reflects the character and heritage of Mayfair while embracing contemporary design. The exterior incorporates arched stone façades, brass panelling, marble finishes, and curved glass unitised cladding panels, creating a distinctive appearance that blends timeless materials with modern construction techniques.
The project demonstrates a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability, delivering a best-in-class commercial building designed to meet the expectations of modern occupiers. Once complete, Lansdowne House will provide exceptional workspace, retail opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities in a prime central London location.
Construction is progressing well, with Mace’s Base Build Practical Completion currently scheduled for August 2027
Due to an agreement with the local authority, this opportunity is open to organisations based in City of Westminster only.
Activities
Students will gain first-hand experience of a live construction project in the heart of Mayfair, seeing how a landmark 10-storey commercial development is being delivered. The visit will include a project overview, a guided site tour, and an introduction to key construction activities, safety procedures, and modern building methods.
Students will learn about the building’s structure, innovative façade design, and sustainability features, while meeting members of the project team to understand the wide range of careers available in construction. There will also be opportunities to ask questions about apprenticeships, work experience, and career pathways within the built environment sector.
The visit aims to inspire students by providing a real-world insight into how large-scale developments are designed, managed, and constructed.
