At Ant Construction, we continue to add new projects to our portfolio both in Türkiye and abroad. Most recently, we added another development to our portfolio in England. This new project is in Folkestone, Kent a prestigious area of the country.
Leas Pavilion is an Edwardian tea-room built in 1902 in the coastal town of Folkestone in the South East of England. Today, it’s a building with a theater, a movie theater, a pool hall, and a night club. Ant Construction will finish this project in 2024, it has a contract value of £40 million and includes renovating the building along with constructing a nine-storey residential block with 91 luxurious sea view flats.
TRADITIONAL ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE MEETS MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Leas Pavilion, which will be renovated with an approach that will remain faithful to its roots of traditional English architecture and history and blend them with modern design, will also have a luxurious residential building. We will build 91 modern, luxury flats on the construction site that covers 12,400 square meters, of which we have the responsibility of both renovation and residential construction. Leas Pavilion, which has been a go-to local venue for cultural activities, art, and entertainment for over 100 years, draws its strength from its opulent atmosphere and its proximity to London and the English Channel.
Ant Construction Chairman of the Board Mehmet Okay, stated they are very happy about the project, and said: “It’s possible to see Ant Construction’s name on very important projects in Russia, England and the USA right now. To date, we have implemented our 13 Eaton Place, 20-22 Eaton Place, Apex House, Belgravia Gate and Harcourt House projects in England, and we’re happy that we have completed the rough-in of our Park Modern project. Today, we started our 7th project in England, Leas Pavilion, one of the most important Edwardian tea rooms. Along with renovating this beautiful example of traditional English architecture, we’re taking Leas Pavilion to the next level with the residential blocks that will rise on its right and left sides. Our new project will come to life with a contract value of £40 million. We are very happy and proud to take on the responsibility of renovating Leas Pavilion”.
