Under Construction

Allies and Morrison

The King’s Cross masterplan sets out a framework for the incremental development of a diverse mix of uses, embedded in one of the UK’s most significant industrial heritage sites.

King’s Cross is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects. The masterplan sets out a framework for the incremental development of a diverse mix of uses, embedded in one of the UK’s most significant industrial heritage sites. It is a work of ‘urban repair’ which respects the character of the existing fabric, while introducing a diverse mix of new uses which include five million sq ft of office space, two million sq ft of residential space and one million sq ft of retail.

Zero Carbon London

→ All office buildings at King’s Cross are designed to a BREEAM Very Good

→ Targeting all new buildings to achieve BREEAM Excellent and Outstanding

→ On-site Energy Centre generates power and heat via Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engines

→ The density and mix of uses facilitate a low carbon living

King’s Cross Masterplan is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects setting out a framework for an incremental development, embedded in one of the UK’s most significant industrial heritage sites. It is a work of ‘urban repair’ which respects the character of the existing fabric, while introducing a diverse mix of new uses. A district-wide energy system with an on-site Energy Centre generates power and heat via Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engines. Each new building connects to the Energy Centre through the district heating network. The Centre provides close to 100 per cent of the development’s heat and hot water needs and around 80 per cent of its electricity needs will be offset.
