Reef Group has awarded Ardmore the contract to deliver the final phase of Tribeca, London’s largest purpose-built life science campus located in the King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter. Under a £230 million main contract, Ardmore will be responsible for the design and construction of this ambitious project.
Tribeca represents a significant milestone in the development of life sciences in London, offering a comprehensive mix of high-quality workspaces, state-of-the-art laboratories, residential units, retail outlets, and dining options. The campus is strategically situated in King’s Cross, close to major institutions like the Francis Crick Institute, the British Library, University College London, and King’s College London, alongside a host of other leading life sciences and tech organizations.
The final phase of Tribeca will see the completion of The Reflector, The Assembly, and The Connector buildings, which are designed to provide cutting-edge lab spaces tailored for life science businesses—from discovery research to global pharmaceutical companies. These buildings will offer direct access to the new Tribeca square and will feature additional amenities including shops, restaurants, and rooftop terraces. This phase also includes the construction of a twelve-storey residential building, delivering both private and affordable homes.
The entire development is committed to achieving the highest standards of sustainability and connectivity, in line with the principles of the London Energy Transformation Initiative. All buildings will be BREEAM Excellent certified and are expected to achieve a Wired Score Platinum Rating.
This final phase follows the successful delivery of The Apex, the first laboratory building on the Tribeca campus, which has already secured The London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC) as its inaugural tenant. The Apex will enhance LBIC’s offering by providing additional high-tech lab facilities, further cementing Tribeca’s reputation as a premier global destination for bioscience research and development.
