Mace has landed a prized deal to build three towers for the Chinese firm behind the redevelopment of a stretch of land next to the US embassy at Nine Elms, 好色先生TV can reveal.

The contractor has won the first phase of the Nine Elms Square project which involves building the towers and a podium for retail and residential.

Client on the scheme (pictured) is R&F Properties, the same firm behind Multiplex鈥檚 One Nine Elms project currently being built next door to Nine Elms Square.

Designed by US architect SOM, the three buildings will range from 36 to 54 storeys and will provide 880 apartments running across 11,555 sq m.

The deal is Mace鈥檚 first for R&F and the firm鈥檚 chief operating officer for construction Gareth Lewis said: 鈥淲e are proud to take on the challenge of delivering part of Vauxhall鈥檚 latest iconic residential development, at the beginning of what we hope will be a long and successful relationship with R&F Properties.鈥�

The first phase has a gross development value of 拢480m with the entire Nine Elms Square scheme set to consist of 12 buildings and close to 2,000 homes.

Multiplex鈥檚 scheme has been designed by another US architect, KPF, and involves two towers of 56 and 42 storeys.

A five-star hotel is also being built as part of the Multiplex deal which has a construction value of more than 拢650m.

Listed in Hong Kong, R&F has been on an acquisition spree in recent years, having snapped up Nine Elms Square, previously known as Vauxhall Square, for 拢158m from CLS Holdings in April 2017 just a month after buying the Queen鈥檚 Square site in Croydon, which includes the former Nestle building, from Delancey.

One Nine Elms was being previously developed by another Chinese firm Dalian Wanda who sold the site to R&F at the beginning of last year for close to 拢60m.
