Demolition contractor McGee is presently carrying out the demolition of Ludgate House on Blackfriars Road, marking the first stage of Native Land’s 1.4m sq ft Sampson and Ludgate redevelopment.
Several measures have been implemented by McGee in order to increase recycling efforts on-site, minimise landfill waste, and conserve energy. Less energy, diesel, and water was used when measured against projected targets, and the total carbon footprint of demolition to date is 3250 kg/CO2 lower than originally accounted for.
McGee worked closely in conjunction with waste specialist organisations like NISP and WRAP to ensure the best recycling and recovery measures for a wide range of waste streams. Of total waste generated on site as of November, 75.4% was recycled and 12.5% was recovered at licensed facilities. In total, 87.9% of waste at Ludgate House has been diverted from landfill.
“Native Land is committed to following an environmentally-friendly approach throughout all stages of the development cycle and we are pleased to be working with McGee to progress the demolition of Ludgate House in the most sustainable way possible.”
Alasdair Nicholls, Chief Executive of Native Land

An urban sanctuary - Arbor’s optimised design creates 45% less carbon dioxide in the building’s operation - equivalent to 52 return flights from London to New York every year.

Samovar, a new large-scale sculpture by Berlin-based artist collective @slavsandtatars, has recently been installed at the @hayward.gallery. Taking the form of an oversized inflatable water boiler, teapot and serving tray, the sculpture reflects on the multicultural and colonial histories of tea. See it outside the Hayward Gallery, just around the corner from Bankside Yards, until 14 November.

#BeyondBoundariesBankside is a new series of art installation around the Bankside area. @bankside_ london have collaborated with @tatecollective to bring five new artworks made by five emerging artists to animate the streets and spaces of the surrounding area.
This artwork is by @visser.ml and is called ‘Gastro Gusto’. The artwork invites us to think about the connection between food and community. The work explores the body - and public space - and creates an opportunity to eat, meet and reconnect with others.

Last week we celebrated the topping out of Arbor, a major new office building for London and the first building to come through at Bankside Yards. This marks a major milestone and an exciting step in the development of the UK’s first fossil-fuel free major mixed-use development.
Hosted by the contractor @multiplexconstruction, we were joined by the wider project teams for the formal topping out ceremony, providing the perfect opportunity for everyone to come together to celebrate this achievement.
Designed with occupier wellness in mind, Arbor’s workspace will offer floor-to-ceiling windows, open-air terraces, and high ceilings. The energy-efficient technology used across the development will be executed on an unprecedented scale and ensure the building operates without the use of fossil fuels.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this landmark occasion.

#BeyondBoundariesBankside is a celebration of the character and creativity of our neighbourhood, inspiring people to reconnect with art and each other. Each artist was invited to produce a new commission by @bankside_london that responds to lockdown, the easing of restrictions and to create site-specific works informed by local #bankside stories.
This artwork is by @hanecdote and is called ‘He(art) is everywhere’. It is a real celebration of the character and creativity of Bankside. The series of motifs are dedicated to local history and take a deep look at the people and trades that have existed in the area.
