Delayed £825m project expected to be completed by end of 2021

Work has finally started on the controversial £825m Renzo Piano-designed Cube development in Paddington, with a contractor expected to be named shortly.

Plagued with delays – and several court battles – the Sellar project on behalf of owners Great Western Developments will feature Piano’s 360,000 sq ft 19-storey office building on the site of an old Royal Mail sorting office next to Paddington Station.

A new Bakerloo line ticket hall and entrances, 75,220 sq ft of retail and restaurant space and a new 1.35 acres public square will also feature in the scheme.
