THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF MIHIR’S VISION AND INSPIRATION
Capital Works in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and focused people like Mihir are using all their skills to improve and enhance the lives of the people who live, work and play in our borough.
As a Senior Project Manager, it’s Mihir’s job to make sure the estates in the south of the borough are great places to live. Since joining us, he’s worked on many important projects, but is particularly proud of a recently completed major works project at Vale Royal House, in the heart of bustling Chinatown. In the pipeline for about 12 years, renovating the site has been one of the most complex and challenging projects ever undertaken by the council.
Before work started, Mihir had to liaise with dozens of different stakeholders, taking into account local events such as the Chinese New Year celebrations and the vibrant, round-the clock nature of the area. But after a challenging two year programme he and his team are proud to have delivered upgrade work to 117 state-of-the-art apartments set around a beautiful hidden courtyard, which are home to more than 1500 people from a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, sitting above 15 new commercial food and retail shops.
Mihir is dedicated to providing homes that people can cherish and be proud of, places where they can live, work and raise their families. His vision and inspiration has been the driving force behind the transformation of a rundown inner-city area into an oasis of peace, calm and security, and will allow its residents to grow and flourish in the heart of one of the world’s great capital cities.

A central part of your role will be building strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. You will work closely with internal teams, specialist advisers, residents and businesses to address challenges, align priorities and keep progress moving.
