The construction division of national law firm Irwin Mitchell is advising on a major redevelopment on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The joint venture between Delancey and Infinity SDC consists of a colossal 1.2 million sq. ft redevelopment of press and broadcast centers at the park into new spaces for the digital industries, called ‘Here East’.

Here East will be aimed for start-ups and established companies and will feature a new campus for Loughborough University, alongside Hackney Community College and one of Europe’s largest data centres.

Commenting on the redevelopment, David Parton, Partner and Head of Construction in London at Irwin Mitchell, who is leading the team, said:
"This is an extremely exciting development which will take forward the spirit of the Olympics into the 21st century: innovation, enterprise and flair.


“We are delighted to be involved in such a forward-looking scheme and to make sure the legacy of the Olympics continues."

The development, which is already home to BT Sport, will include shared workspaces, a landscaped canal side and a selection of cafes, shops and restaurants.

It has been stated that the joint venture has entered into a significant construction contract with Laing O’Rourke for the revamp of the buildings.
