London Square appoints Downwell Group for landmark Westminster Tower redevelopment

Appointed by leading developer London Square, Downwell Group is delivering a £9m specialist construction package at Westminster Tower. The project represents one of the most significant and technically complex schemes in the Group’s history. The works form part of London Square’s transformation of Westminster Tower into luxury residential apartments on London’s South Bank, adjacent to the Houses of Parliament.

As principal contractor, Downwell Group is delivering a comprehensive package of enabling works, including soft strip, full de-cladding, high-level demolition, installation of a steel-framed structure at height, and structural strengthening to the existing core.

The appointment highlights Downwell Group’s expertise in delivering complex specialist construction services, drawing on the strength of its integrated capabilities in civils enabling, structural engineering, environmental remediation and scaffolding.

Andy McClafferty, Managing Director at Downwell Group, commented:

“We’re proud to continue our relationship with London Square on a project of this scale and prominence. The redevelopment of Westminster Tower is our largest project with London Square to date and one of the most significant schemes within both organisations’ portfolios.

Westminster Tower is an iconic building, and this scheme is a strong example of the complex enabling works we deliver across London. It reflects the depth of expertise across our teams and our ability to support high-profile developments in complex, densely populated urban environments.”

Set on the South Bank, overlooking some of London’s most iconic landmarks, Westminster Tower is being transformed by London Square into a premium residential destination. Downwell’s works will play a critical role in preparing the structure for its next phase of development, helping to unlock the building’s long-term performance while preserving its distinctive presence on the London skyline.
