CONCIERGE 3

CONCERT HAS PROVIDED COST MANAGEMENT SERVICES ON MIXED-USE REGENERATION DEVELOPMENT NORTH WHARF GARDENS
Real estate consultancy Concert is pleased to announce that the North Wharf Gardens scheme for Concierge 3 has reached practical completion . Concert was involved in the pre , and post contract works , overseeing the cost consulting aspect of this new build development in Paddington , London . The project , which achieved BREEAM Excellent , is part of the Paddington Basin Masterplan , restoring this unique location between Paddington and Edgeware Road . The scheme is constructed on a two-storey basement car park with 19 floors sitting on a reinforced concrete frame .
The mixed-use space comprises a significant hotel and hybrid aparthotel development divided between two tenants : a 393-bed Premier Inn and 249 serviced apartments for Wilde by Staycity . Additionally , there is the 240 cover Bar + Block restaurant as well as a 27,000 sq ft MBS Sixth Form building , a new faculty of the nearby Marylebone Boys ’ School .
The project work was undertaken as part of an overarching scheme at North Wharf Gardens which endeavoured to create a vibrant , residentially led mixed-use development delivering 485 new homes , affordable business , retail and social and community spaces , including a new primary school , and a new public garden for Paddington . A theme of connectivity is prevalent across the site , with the garden having been built to provide a link between the mix of uses whilst connecting the development to the wider neighbourhoods to improve the social cohesion in the district .
To ensure a collaborative team approach was adopted , Concert ’ s attitude throughout embraced cohesive work with the contractor and the client team , incorporating the brand ’ s values which pride them on bringing harmony to every project by means of working in coordination alongside the whole project team and investing in fully understanding the client ’ s needs .
