Ninety One

JAC Group are delighted to have completed the project management of a 120,000 sq ft fit out for Ninety One (previously Investec Asset Management) at 55 Gresham Street. Set over eleven floors the project completed during the 2020 global pandemic and is a true testament to the collective commitment from all involved.

The building was handed to the team mainly in a shell and core condition with a number of floors presented at CAT A to assist with the marketing of the space.

The briefing process and appointment of the wider team was done at pace to allow for a full years design and coordination to be carried out. The professional team was extensive and varied to encompass the requirements of Ninety One and the building.

Emphasis was placed on achieving a sustainable space via a well thought out and considered design. Twin & Earth were appointed to oversee the BREEAM accreditation of which Excellent was achieved, together with the lighting and materials being in line with SKA offices and a bespoke Ninety One health and wellbeing inspired accreditation.

Full catering kitchens, with an interlinking service lift were installed on the eighth and ninth floors servicing the meeting room suite and terrace restaurant and BBQ respectively. Impressive views from the ninth floor over St Pauls Cathedral make this a perfect place to unwind at lunchtime, to meet with colleagues or to host an informal meeting. Chapel Consulting oversaw the specification and coordination of the kitchens.

Two extremely impressive staircases were installed in the scheme requiring structural input to ensure the integrity of the building. A gym to the lower ground floor and a flexible presentation suite with complex audio visual, sound and acoustics on the ground floor make this project one of the most complex and impressive the team have had the privilege to work on.

JAC Group project managed a traditional procurement route for the fit out, coordinating a professional team including property advisors, Devono Cresa, architects HLW, mechanical and electrical consultants Hoare Lea and audio visual/ security/ infrastructure consultants MiX. The construction programme was 40 weeks allowing for minimal disruption where necessary for Covid-19.
