This work has been carried out by RED Construction Group with Moorevale the development manager.
A ceremony was held on January 10 this year where the team gathered to celebrate the building’s topping out (reaching the highest point).
"Demand for high quality, sustainable and amenity focused office space remains strong in Richmond, where there’s a shortage of Grade-A accommodation," said Adam Smith, asset management director at Barwood Capital.
"With sustainability and wellbeing at the forefront of the design, Explore delivers a best-in-class option that meets the priorities of businesses today."
Charlie Bishop, director at Moorevale, added: "As well as its excellent residential provision and good local schools, Richmond enjoys a thriving food and drink scene and has much to offer for businesses and their employees.
"Quick access to the centre of London via train, plus close reach to the M4, M3 and beyond, further adds to the town’s appeal and we’re expecting strong demand for space at Explore Richmond."Explore offers 45,000 sq ft of space and is targeting BREEAM Excellent, Net Zero in operation and an EPC A rating.
Amenities include 42 cycle parking spaces, a communal lounge, gym plus changing rooms and showers.
