Irwin M&E Power New Project in the City of London

Irwin M&E is proud to continue its partnership with McAleer & Rushe. We will deliver the full Electrical Services package for the landmark redevelopment of 65 Crutched Friars in the City of London.

A Landmark Transformation

This project will transform a former five-storey office block into a 21-storey purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme with basement level. The development will provide over 700 student residences. It will also include modern social, study, and community spaces.

The scheme will create the permanent home of the London Migration Museum. The museum will span 30,000 sq. ft. across three floors, offering exhibition, education, and cultural space for students, Londoners, and visitors.

In addition, the development will open green spaces to the public, including a pocket park and rooftop terrace, creating new community amenities.

Heritage Preserved

The site was once home to the HFW Office Building. This building included features of historic value, such as two Friars Statues mounted on the façade. A specialist contractor carefully removed these statues, and they will return as part of the new external landscaping.

The scheme will complete in time for the 2027/28 academic year.

We are proud to provide the electrical expertise that helps create places where people can live, learn, and connect.
