UK’s largest demolition company to start demolition of Earl’s Court exhibition centre in New Year.
Developer Capital & Counties has today confirmed that Keltbray will start demolition in February of the famous Earls Court exhibition halls in West London.
The vast job is due to take 18 months to two years to complete, paving the way for major construction works to create a new 7,500-home neighbourhood.
Sir Robert McAlpine and Keltbray have been on board as construction and demolition advisers on the vast project.
The first phase of the £3 billion Earls Court scheme at Lillie Square has been pre-let and enabling works are almost complete.
The demolition is not without its detractors, however. Indeed, the Save Earl’s Court lobby has been both vocal and active since the concept of replacing the ageing exhibition and concert venue with housing was first mooted.
