Meinhardt UK

A nine-storey building has been granted planning permission at 262 York Road on the site of a Shell petrol filling station – the last undeveloped site at Battersea Reach, a mixed-use development fronting the River Thames. Multi-disciplinary consultancy Meinhardt UK is using its expertise in modern methods of construction and structural engineering to realise the architect’s vision for a new build-to-rent development despite a set of challenges.

Engineering consultancy Meinhardt UK has welcomed the news that one of the largest rental community schemes in the UK, at Greenford Green, Ealing, London, has earned planning consent. Global real estate company Greystar has appointed Meinhardt UK alongside HTA Design (architects) and Alinea Consulting (Cost Consultants) to regenerate an area of industrial wasteland next to the Grand Union Canal that was formerly occupied by pharmaceutical giant GSK.

Blakes Hotel have commissioned multidisciplinary engineers and consultants Meinhardt UK to help in bringing one of the world’s most distinctive five-star boutique hotels to Shoreditch. In December 2016, the scheme’s architect Kyson won the go-ahead from Hackney Council to proceed with the development - work is now due to start on site early 2017 and to complete towards the end of 2018.
