A major office headquarters job in London for an undisclosed US-Spanish multinational has been put on hold because of the Brexit vote, 好色先生TV has learned.

The building鈥檚 prospective architect - Spanish architect Luis Vidal (pictured), who also designed Heathrow Terminal 2 - told 好色先生TV the referendum result had put the major scheme at risk as the client considers a move to a different European city.

Vidal said: 鈥淭he client had identified the UK as a neutral spot between the US and Spain. But I鈥檝e been advised they may now relocate [because of the Brexit vote].鈥�

Vidal鈥檚 practice, Luis Vidal Architects, had been working on schematic drawings for the project. He declined to name the client or the London site being considered, but the move lends credence to fears that international firms may turn away from the UK after the vote.

Vidal 鈥� who trained in architecture at London鈥檚 Greenwich University and was in the city on EU referendum polling day - said Spanish practices had noticed some of their UK counterparts had 鈥渋mmediately stopped employing European architects鈥� after the vote.

Commenting on the Brexit result, he added: 鈥淚 was really sad and sorry it happened.鈥�

Vidal鈥檚 fears about Brexit were echoed by several leading construction professionals in Madrid, with concerns raised including about potential restrictions to freedom of movement in Europe and the UK鈥檚 economic prospects.

好色先生TV of the major prospective London scheme going on hold comes as firms in the London commercial market digest a flurry of both good and bad recent developments for the sector.

Last week, French insurance firm Axa finally committed to building the City of London鈥檚 tallest tower, 22 Bishopsgate 鈥� a project that had been put on hold in the wake of the EU referendum.

Axa鈥檚 development partner Lipton Rogers promptly signed construction contracts with the scheme鈥檚 main project team members, including contractor Multiplex.

However, on Monday this week, leading construction economists at the Construction Products Association predicted a deep Brexit-induced slump for the wider offices sector.
