Apex Tower in New Malden is a landmark, 16-storey commercial office building located in the heart of the town, close to the station and the A3 and with direct access into the centre of London.
PBC was appointed in 2018 to provide Project Management and Employer’s Agent services for the strip-out and enabling contract and a CAT A back-to-shell refurbishment of the reception, office floors 7-15, common parts and a new-build commuter facilities block, as well as external repairs and landscaping works.
The strip-out and enabling works were completed last year and the office space is being fitted-out to a high-quality CAT A specification, with a new MEPH system, new lifts and controls and an extended and remodelled reception area.
Externally the façades are due to be cleaned and repaired and the car park structure at the rear is to be repaired and refurbished. The front of the building will be re-landscaped and the street presence improved. As the tenant currently occupying the ground to 6th floors is still in situ, all of the work is being carried out so as to minimise noise and disruption.
The energy-efficient design by award-winning architects, Morrow & Lorraine reflects their research into changing work patterns and the need for flexibility for the future. The vision, shared by the client and the project team, is to significantly improve the occupier experience for everyone working in the building and its visitors.
