Grants Precast awarded King’s Court – Covent Garden

Grants Precast have been awarded the highly prestigious brick faced precast to the new King’s Court development in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. The facades use high quality hand made bricks which have been expertly chosen to match the history and ambiance of the surrounding properties while creating a subtle air of distinction and character. The 100,000 square feet mixed-use scheme (including over 20,000 square feet of new space) will improve pedestrian flow around the estate by creating a new passageway connecting Long Acre and King Street. The development will create eight new retail units, two new restaurants and forty-five premium apartments centred around a new public courtyard.

St James Square – Uncovered

St James Square is a new era in precast excellence. To the eye it appears to all intense and purpose as though it is a hand set Portland Stone facade built traditionally. In reality it is Portland Stone cast onto high quality precast panels. To achieve this high level of quality without any of the normal large panel to panel joints associated with precast units, we have specially designed and detailed our system panels which have been cast to extremely high tolerances. The result of the time and care taken in our new precast factory is that the facade was built quickly on site and as you can see the finished product looks every inch as though traditional stone masons installed each and every stone. Quality by distinction.
