DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Central Saint Giles will be a striking new mixed use development providing 400,000 sq ft of office space, 109 apartments and a selection of restaurant and retail units on the ground floor. The building has been designed by Renzo Piano, and will provide large open office floors, high specification fit-out and a new piazza surrounded by restaurants, all within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and Soho. The location of the site gives quick access to Tottenham Court Road, Holborn and Covent Garden tube stations, and is well connected to the main London Rail Termini, including the Eurostar services at St Pancras. Central Saint Giles will deliver major improvements to the public realm of St Giles. In addition to the piazza and new routes through the site, the project will vastly improve pedestrian links between Covent Garden and Bloomsbury, and result in the creation of a new public square at Princes Circus.

The redevelopment of the Bucklersbury House site in the City of London will create 875,000 sq ft net of modern office floorspace and 95,000 sq ft net of retail and restaurant floorspace, with an eclectic mix of international retailers. Together with world class architecture, a new public square and reinstated pedestrian routes through the site, Walbrook Square will create a great new place to work and do business in London. The mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants will create a new and vibrant destination in the heart of the city. The project is designed by Atelier Foster Nouvel, a unique collaboration between Normal Foster and French architect Jean Nouvel.
