HSBC, Birmingham
The Project
Taylor Hart Ltd have completed their part in helping to construct the new HSBC British retail headquarters. Located in Birmingham city centre, the project represents the West Midlands based firms biggest ever contract, at more than £5m in value. Taylor Hart were appointed construction interiors contractors to the flagship development. The 210,000 sq ft, 10 story building, originally called 2 Arena Central was recently renamed 1 Centenary Square.
HSBC’s new building will accommodate up to 2,500 people and will be the first in Birmingham to be constructed to LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Gold accreditation.
Initially contracted to carry out base core Category A works to the value of more than £2.5m, Taylor Hart were soon also asked to fit out the building, adding approximately another £2.5m on to the total contract value. That meant the project was the company’s largest ever.
The fit out work Taylor Hart are supplying includes Hunter Douglas and Armstrong acoustic suspended ceilings, SAS bespoke bronze metal ceilings, drywall linings and partitions, also Jesmonite wall to the reception arena.
The high grade finish will reflect both the Hong Kong and New York branch headquarters of HSBC.
