Kier has been appointed by The Crown Estate as part of its largest ever development programme, to redevelop its Grade II Listed 10 Piccadilly into a modern, prime office and retail space that will support the West End economy.
Located in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, the 90,800 sq ft mixed-use redevelopment will provide 62,700 sq ft of prime office space, alongside a 26,400 sq ft hospitality destination across the ground, basement and first floors, and a further 1,700 sq ft of retail space on Regent Street.
The project marks the latest step in The Crown Estate's long-term vision for its 10 million sq ft London portfolio. Sustainably regenerating heritage-led assets for the future, the development supports the continued evolution of the West End as one of the most globally competitive urban destinations. It also acts as a celebration of the area's rich history, while providing an opportunity to make it greener, accessible and more inclusive. It's targeted to achieve BREEAM 'Outstanding' and a NABERS 5* rating.
Graham Potts, Regional Director, Kier Construction London & Thames Valley, said:
This latest phase of development reflects The Crown Estate's long-term, estate-wide approach to investing in places that respond to the needs of businesses, workers, visitors and communities. By bringing together high-quality workplaces with new retail and hospitality uses, the reimagined buildings will support a diverse, resilient mix across the West End, strengthening its appeal as a place to work, visit and spend time.
Kristy Lansdown, Managing Director of Development at The Crown Estate, said:
This is Kier's latest scheme with The Crown Estate, following our appointment on 33-35 Piccadilly last year and the redevelopment of Morley House - a Grade II listed building block located on London's Regent Street.
The appointment further strengthens Kier's growing commercial portfolio in central London, following its recent selection by Derwent London to deliver Holden House, its second scheme with the client. The redevelopment will revitalise a prominent West End building through a major behind-the-façade transformation, creating 135,000 sq ft of premium office and retail space on Oxford Street. This is in addition to ongoing work on the 13,000 sqm redevelopment of King's College London's Bush House South West Wing, a landmark project in the university's expansion and long-term estate masterplan at its iconic Strand Campus.
