T&T to manage £75m Bootle scheme
Osborne + Co has been given the green light for its second project with Santander.
The approval of the £75m campus in Bootle comes two months after the pair’s first scheme - the Spanish banking giant’s new £150m UK tech hub in Milton Keynes - was given the all clear.
Construction work is due to start on the Bootle scheme by spring next year.
Flan McNamara, the man in charge of building the Shard at London Bridge for developer Sellar, who is now a director with Osborne + Co, said: “This takes us one step closer to commencing on site and developing a ground-breaking purpose-built workplace for Santander.”
