The development will deliver 8,000 sq ft of modern CAT A office space, accessed via the existing buildings, with existing lifts and stair cores extended to accommodate this. The scheme also provides rooftop external amenity spaces, enhancing site greening and offering places for occupants to relax and socialise.

The high-quality rooftop extensions deliver flexible, functional office floorspace that respects the architectural character of the existing buildings and preserves the area’s historical continuity.

Ryan Carson, Head of Building Consultancy at SHW commented “This project exemplifies the balance of technical performance, occupier flexibility, and ESG alignment, ensuring the building is both market-ready and future-proof. A fantastic result for our client — and a pleasure to collaborate with the wider project team!”
