Development

Outstanding buildings which enhance the character of central London, and exceptional spaces for business.

Our vision is to create sustainable developments that make an enduring and beneficial contribution to the future of London.

Every workplace and retail space that we develop looks to the future, anticipating the needs of people visiting, working and living in central London in generations to come.

We have an established reputation for delivering exceptional, modern space for business and creating platforms that they need to succeed. Our developments across central London have brought outstanding new buildings into the historic heart of the city.

We are known for our commitment to enhancing the public realm, and improving the experience for people coming to and living in London. Through our developments we have delivered tangible improvements to the Regent Street and St James’s neighbourhoods, and made meaningful contributions to our local communities, through employment and skills, air quality and biodiversity.

Every development is carefully designed to respond to its location, and to be sensitive to the historic area in which it is located. Our developments are inspired and respond to the distinctive characteristics of the architecture of the area.

We take a holistic approach to every aspect of a development. Working with leading architects, who are visionary in their approach and experienced in revitalising heritage buildings, we ensure that sustainable design is embedded from the outset.

Working with our joint venture partners, including Oxford Properties, HOOOP, and NBREM, we have delivered new iconic buildings such as 7 Air Street, the Grade II listed building to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, and St James’s Market.

 

St James's Market

Our landmark scheme, delivered in partnership with Oxford Properties, has created a new district in the West End. We used our expertise within London to blend heritage with contemporary style, re-establishing this area for the long term.

Set around a public square and art pavilion, it is home to an outstanding line-up of eclectic restaurants and flagship stores from major lifestyle brands. St James’s Market has created a world-class destination for visitors and businesses, with a complementary mix of office, retail and dining accommodation, which reflects our wider strategy for the rejuvenation of St James’s.
