Citypoint is a 36-story landmark tower in the Moorgate area adjacent to the Barbican Estate. Previously know as Britannic House and Britannic Tower, it is located on Ropemaker Street on the northern fringe of the City of London, the main financial district and historic nucleus of London. Originally built in 1967, it is one of the largest in the city and underwent a comprehensive reconstruction in 2001.

The building offers over 60,000 square feet of retail including the largest health-club in the square mile operated by Nuffield Health and over an acre of public realm. Recent works included the development of ‘Podium’ which will offer over 130,000 sq. ft. of contiguous space and more than 7000 sq. ft. of terrace space.

The principal aim of this project was to replace a larger number of critical plant elements that were at end-of-life, primarily associated with the Landlords Core Services. FES Support Services Ltd secured the project following a robust commercial and technical process.

Citypoint has 36 storeys, multiple tenant areas and various retail spaces within the public realm areas and remained fully operational during the Life-Cycle Place Replacement Project. Therefore, there were significant challenges in maintaining building services throughout the complex during the planned plant and system changeovers, due to the extended operating hours therein. As there were several International Tenants who aligned their office hours to the various stock-markets around the world, many areas within Citypoint were effectively in 24 hour operation.

Very much driven by the highly effective mobilisation phase, the Brookfield Team made it very clear at the onset that the works could only be delivered successfully by utilising a one-team approach. FES and Brookfield worked together to overcome challenges and accepted joint responsibility as a team to drive engineering and service excellence through continuous improvement initiatives throughout the project.
