The ground below the developer’s n2 office in Victoria was so congested by tunnels, it is supported in just four places. Thomas Lane looks at the pinpoint accuracy of the building’s fit

Later this year developer Landsec will add another piece to the complex redevelopment jigsaw around London’s Victoria station. Much of this has been shaped by Landsec, which is heavily invested in the area, including its own HQ on Victoria Street.

This local portfolio also includes Nova, a 727,000ft2 scheme spread over three buildings and the largest development ever undertaken by Landsec. Six years after Nova was completed, Landsec is putting the finishing touches to the next phase of the Nova masterplan.
