Ambit Refurbishes Coal Drops Yard, Unit 2

Announcements 5th June, 2024

We completed a 9,515 sq ft CAT A refurbishment of Unit Two at the historic Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross, transforming it from a former retail space to a shell and core setup in just 12 weeks. Built in the 1850s as a coal storage and distribution centre, the building now retains its historic charm while meeting modern retail needs.

The renovation included a complete strip-out of fixtures, such as counters and a commercial kitchen, which we stored for future reuse. We reconfigured the space to an open-plan layout, making it more attractive for dynamic retail ventures and prioritising aesthetic and infrastructural improvements. This process involved a full mechanical equipment overhaul and a comprehensive Operating and Maintenance (O&M) manual.

We added structural reinforcements as required and documented changes through precise as-built drawings. Our commitment to sustainability guided us to repurpose existing fixtures and maintain internal greenery. The result is a space that merges historical elements with modern functionality, positioning Unit Two as a prime retail destination in London.
