High Speed Two (HS2) Limited began the search for world-class architects, designers and developers to deliver 4 ambitious and iconic new HS2 stations with the publication of contract opportunities for station designs and a development partner for London Euston.
The winning bidders will work with HS2 Ltd to develop and refine the detailed plans for 3 brand new stations, at Birmingham Curzon Street, Birmingham Interchange and London’s Old Oak Common, as well as a major expansion of London Euston.
The stations will welcome tens of thousands of passengers every day from all over the UK, providing easy and accessible onward connections to local transport, airports and connecting rail services as well as step-free access from street to seat. In total more than 170,000 new jobs are expected to be created in the wider development areas surrounding the four stations.
A separate contest, will seek a Master Development Partner to advise on, and later take forward, development opportunities for new homes, offices and retail space above and around the revamped London Euston. The winner will work with HS2 Ltd, Network Rail, the station design contract winner and local authorities to deliver a unified plan to unlock the full potential of the area.
“We’re looking for the brightest and the best from across the industry to help us deliver one of the most tangible legacies of the HS2 project – three brand new stations and a major expansion of London Euston,” HS2 Ltd Commercial Director Beth West said.
