Kings Cross Central plans unveiled

After a gap of 15-year new outline plans have been announced for the 28ha (67-acre) Kings Cross site in London, NW1. The Kings Cross Central development in totola will provide 743,218 sq m (8m sq ft) of mixed-use space to be developed by Argent St George with Exel and London & Continental Railways, the landowners. The main site is bounded by the Euston Road, York Way, St Pancras Station and Kings Cross Station. The 1980’s proposals by Rosehaugh and Stanhope included two Sir Norman Foster skyscrapers as part of a £3.5bn redevelopment. The new plans are for a £2bn scheme and involve the renovation of 20 historic buildings and providing 483,091 sq m (5.2m sq ft) of office space, 47,194 sq m (508,000 sq ft) of hotel space, 45,893 sq m (494,000 sq ft) of retail and leisure uses, 8,454 sq m (91,000 sq ft) of cenemas, and 75,715 sq m (815,000 sq ft) of community and education and cultural space, to include an art gallery and museum. At lease 1,800 homes will also be built. Construction work on the major elements of the scheme cannot start until the Channel Tunnel rail Link is completed in 2007. - (05-06-2004)

King Cross 'vision' appears

The latest plans for Kings Cross have been unveiled by Argent, and partners London & Continental Railways and St George, pending an outline planning application being submitted for the 29ha (72-acre) site. The last major plans for Kings Cross were by Rosehaugh Stanhope in the late 1980's when over 6m sq ft of office space was proposed. In the mixed-use 'vision' office development is contained in blocks 4 and 5 as the 'Southern Hub' and also in Blocks 7 and 8 to the rear of the site. The office blocks range between 8-25 storeys, with the potential to go higher. The remainder of the scheme includes retail, residential and leisure uses and the total floorspace of all uses is between 7m to 8.6m sq ft. Jones Lang LaSalle is advising on the development, which will not be able to start before 2007. - (06-10-2002)
