Tottenham Announce $80M Deal With Building Firm To Lay Foundations For New Stadium

Council documents revealed that Tottenham "commissioned engineering firm M Anderson Construction to oversee the building" of its new stadium in a £50M ($80M) deal, according to Adam Shergold of the London DAILY MAIL. The company, based in Chelmsford in Essex, "will be responsible for the stadium's foundations and also the construction of its super structure, including upper floors and stairways." The new ground "will be located at Northumberland Park, next to White Hart Lane, and is expected to be completed in 2018." Haringey Council has approved the contract though the club "must overcome an outstanding High Court challenge from Archway Street Metal Works Ltd., "the one remaining landowner on the site," before building work can commence. The council has already given permission for the club to demolish Fletcher House, "a listed building on the site" (DAILY MAIL, 10/2).
