Commercial environments.
We are proud to be associated with some of the UK’s most iconic commercial developments, shaping the city skylines for years to come.
Our experience within the commercial sector started within the emerging Docklands and Canary Wharf development during the late 1980’s.
Great spaces start with a high-quality fit-out and the depth of our building services expertise allows us to consistently deliver to the highest standard, incorporating sustainability and the latest technologies to achieve environmental targets.
Our portfolio includes heritage building fit-out’s, fully electric new build developments and iconic landscapers such as the Google HQ in London’s Kings Cross.
90 Long Acre
A brutalist building originally designed by Richard Seifert and built in the 1970s, 90 Long Acre is a 240,000 sq. ft. landmark building in Covent Garden, London. ESG are delivering Electrical and Mechanical packages for both the Shell & Core, and Cat-A elements. The refurbishment aims to revitalise existing office areas, adding floor space and upgrading the building’s performance, whilst providing a new public space and retail opportunities at ground level.
With sustainability and carbon reduction in mind, this project retains 80% of the original structure and is targeting BREEAM Outstanding, Fitwel 3 stars, WELL Platinum and NABERS UK 5 stars ratings, as it looks to provide 70% savings on operational energy.
Google, London
One of London’s newest and most iconic commercial developments, the new Google office in Kings Cross contains 65,000 sq. ft. of office space, and 39 MDF and IDF Rooms that make up part of the electrical fit-out delivered by ESG.
Work includes low level containment and power, a custom-made trunking and support system, wireless lighting control and high-level lighting that required the development of a custom-made solution integrated into the building fabric.
Committed to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and LEED Gold rating, the project is aiming for higher sustainability levels upon its eventual completion, gaining ‘Outstanding’ and Platinum ratings, respectively.
280 Bishopsgate
The Galliford Try project in Bishops Square, Spitalfields was delivered for Arax Properties. It included the internal refurbishment of 264,500 sq.ft of prime office space to Category A level, as well as full fit-out of core and reception areas, new basement and roof plant areas.
Private terraces on every floor and communal roof gardens were included in the new scheme, with energy saving, extensive environmental and sustainability improvements targeting energy consumption, waste management and air quality.
ESG are very proud of the sustainability achievements made on this project, reaching a BREEAM rating of ‘Outstanding’ and WELL Platinum certification.
The Gilbert
Originally designed in 1930 by Frederick Gould and Giles Gilbert Scott, The Gilbert occupies a prominent position on Finsbury Square.
ESG were appointed to carry out the MEP installation helping to preserve its architectural heritage, whilst meeting the needs of its new occupiers. Delivery to shell and core and CAT-A exposed services included 10 storeys of B1 office accommodation in The Gilbert and 9 storeys in One Lackington.
The project achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’, including 75% lower embodied carbon than LETI’s 2020 benchmark and has a predicted operational energy performance ahead of the UKGBC 2025 Paris Proof target.
80 Charlotte Street
This completely electric development in the heart of Fitzrovia was the first of its kind and ESG are extremely proud of the work our teams have delivered.
Shell and core work for the nine-storey mixed-use development consisted of office spaces, residential housing, and public areas. M&E services included MV distribution, LV distribution, life safety services, lighting, small power, fire alarms, security, lighting control, BMS, drainage, primary and secondary chilled and LTHW, sprinklers and dry risers, atrium ventilation systems and lower ground floor ventilation systems including smoke clearance systems.
The project achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ and LEED Gold certification.
