Bloomsbury Quarter Construction: May 2024 Update
Dear Neighbour,
We are writing to provide you with an update on our project, Bloomsbury Quarter, previously referred to as the Holborn Links Estate, which primarily focuses on the refurbishment of 21 Southampton Row and Vernon & Sicilian House.
Current Construction Activities
Removal of materials and construction deliveries via the pitlane on 21 Southampton Row*
Deliveries of structural steel
Structural alterations within Vernon and Sicilian House
The main core area at the basement level is currently undergoing concrete underpinning to reinforce the existing structure in preparation for reconstruction and reconfiguration to accommodate the new core.
*Noisy works relating to demolition have commenced and will be ongoing until August 2024. Construction traffic is expected to increase as materials are removed, and new equipment and supplies are delivered. Our team is implementing rigorous mitigation measures, and on-going monitoring of noise, vibration, and dust levels to ensure they do not exceed agreed limits.
