The building will be the headquarters office for Metro Bank, who are moving from Holborn in one of the largest office lettings in Croydon.
The Lend Lease appointment follows the fast-progressing work on the Vita residential block and the beginnings of the Boxpark retail area, which is set to open for business next summer.
Lend Lease are already on the site, working on what is the first of five office buildings to be developed at the Schroder and Stanhope-owned Ruskin Square.
The first block will provide 200,000 sq ft of office accommodation, with independent retail space on the ground floor. Completion is expected in autumn 2016.
“The appointment of Lend Lease is a key milestone,” said Stanhope’s development director, Jason Margrave. “Lend Lease will unlock a key part of the scheme and our vision to develop an attractive and vibrant commercial and leisure destination situated prominently within Croydon’s rising central business district.”
