Annual review 2015–2016

Time Warner
– flagship
headquarters
Supporting the creative vision
As one of the world’s leading multimedia and
entertainment companies, Time Warner set out
to build a new corporate headquarters in the
USA to reflect its global status and culture
of creativity.
Time Warner’s challenge was to consolidate
a portfolio of seven buildings in Manhattan,
totalling two million square feet and 4,200
people, into a single flagship headquarters
at a time when an overheated market was
pushing the cost of space, skills and materials
to a premium.
Giving confidence and control
Appointed as project and cost managers, we
have been working directly with Time Warner’s
real estate team to coordinate all consultants
involved in the new Hudson Yards headquarters
on New York’s west side. We set up a successful
procurement process, creating the right team and
establishing the controls and governance needed
to proactively manage risk. By rigorously controlling
cost and schedule, we have been helping to
achieve best value for Time Warner while fulfilling
the diverse needs of its media divisions.
