Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced today that it has shortlisted five development
companies in its search for a partner to deliver a new premium residential development and
ancillary works at Lord’s Cricket Ground in St John’s Wood, London NW8. The
development, along the eastern side of the ground on Wellington Road, is expected to
substantially fund the first phase of MCC’s multi million pound 'Vision for
Lord’s'. The shortlisted companies are:
- ALMACANTAR
- CAPITAL & COUNTIES
- GROSVENOR
- LONDON NEWCASTLE
- NATIVE LAND
MCC was seeking interest from development companies with expertise in prime residential
development, comparable experience of partnerships or working closely with organisations
similar to MCC, and a demonstrable track record in securing planning consents.
Keith Bradshaw, MCC’s Secretary & Chief Executive, said: “Our decision to
seek a development partner is driven by the Club’s fundamental objective of maintaining
and enhancing the reputation of Lord’s as the pre-eminent cricket ground in the world and
the global home of cricket.
“We had a first class international response from development companies and we now
look to move to the next stage of delivering the Vision for Lord’s”.
In arriving at the shortlist, MCC has been advised by Cushman & Wakefield.
