Workspaces

When complete, over 12,500 sq ft will be available directly above Covent Garden Tube station. We are proposing to extend and refurbish the workspace and install a dedicated terrace. We’ll make it a more sustainable and inclusive building by improving its EPC rating from F to A or B. We will change how the space is heated so that once operational, it’ll be net zero carbon. 

Investing in a greener city, a city for future generations to work, to innovate and discover. And generate a long-term, sustainable income that we can re-invest back into London.

65 Davies St is a new workspace above Bond Street Elizabeth line station that was pre-let prior to occupation. The relationship between accessible public transport and contemporary workspace is clearly attractive to the market, and 65 Davies St boasts unparalleled connectivity, with over 65,000 sq ft of workspace. 

Grosvenor, our long leaseholder on this former Crossrail site, has completed the construction and pre‑let the workspace at 65 Davies Street on 10‑year leases. 65 Davies Street represents best-in-class workspace accommodation. When attracting potential occupiers, they showcased the building sustainability credentials. It’s a fully electric building that is targeting BREEAM Excellent and WELL accreditation, showing how we can deliver green, sustainable buildings that also provide a long-term, secure income.

Together with Helical we are proposing to deliver three new future-focused workspace developments at prime locations in Bank, Paddington and Southwark, each with terraces and retail space. These state-of the-art buildings are part of our Platinum Portfolio and will use recycled building materials and result in 600,000 sq ft of new office space.

We’re expecting to start work at Bank in 2024, and when all projects within the portfolio are complete we’re forecast to generate around £9m each year. 

We appointed architects DK-CM and worked with Network Rail, local councils, customers and the local community to establish a new vision for the area. Our aim is to create a lively urban centre for community, economic and cultural activity, that is connected and accessible.

Working with our joint venture partner, Landsec we are starting work on creating 19,000 st ft of net zero carbon workspace Plus 34 new homes, 50% affordable. As part of the project we will also create gardens and community spaces which will display some of the fascinating archaeological discovered on site.

South Kensington Station, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), is one of the busiest stations on the London Underground, welcoming around 34 million passengers a year to the area, which includes London’s world-famous museum quarter. 

Working with Native Land, Places for London have been developing plans to restore and enhance the buildings and land at South Kensington Tube station, providing new homes, including 35% on site affordable, workspace, shops, and completing much-needed step-free access to the Circle & District lines.
