Construction firm lands second phase of £16m Angel Central regeneration

A London-based construction company has been appointed to complete a multi-million pound regeneration project in North London.

CBRE Global Investors has named RED Construction as the contractor for the second phase of the £16m Angel Central development in Islington.

Working with development manager Queensberry, RED will deliver retail, leisure, and restaurant space, plus an outdoor terrace area accessible via a new link bridge.

In addition, the construction specialist will elevate the 12-tonne ‘Angel Wings’ sculpture at the heart of the scheme by 3.5 metres as part of the refurbishment.

Graham Sturge, managing director of Farringdon-based RED Construction, commented: “We are proud to be working with CBRE Global Investors on such an exciting and creative project and utilising our experience to ensure the safe delivery of this extensive refurbishment.”

Ciara Hanrahan, asset manager at CBRE Global Investors, added: “Our investment in the redevelopment of Angel Central has been a long-term plan for the destination.

“We wanted to provide the local community with a reimagined space and enhanced offer that includes more restaurants, outdoor seating and leisure – all building on the existing strong mix within the scheme such as O2 Academy, Vue Cinema and Frame.

“Now more than ever, we want visitors to feel safe and enjoy the new-look Angel Central and we are looking forward to RED Construction delivering our vision.”
