KPE has secured planning consent from Westminster City Council for the refurbishment of 27 Soho Square, a 31,000 sq ft Grade A office building located on one of central London’s most famous and historic squares.
The building, designed by Gibson Thornley, will focus on upgrading and modernising the space with a focus on sustainability to target BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings. Some features of the building will include private terraces on the 4th and 5th floors, the ground floor and part basement commercial space, as well as the creation of new occupier amenities, including showers, changing areas and bike storage.
27 Soho Square is situated within the Soho Conservation Area and benefits from unrivalled transport connectivity. The asset forms part of KPE’s value-add workspace strategy to invest into dynamic London sub-market opportunities supported by robust occupational demand drivers.
Tim James, Investment Director, said: “As occupier demands intensify, the refurbishment of 27 Soho Square will reposition the building as a high-quality, highly desirable workspace in one of central London’s most sought-after locations. The refurbishment will significantly enhance the occupier experience, address the building’s limitations and strengthen its connection to the character and vitality of Soho. This announcement represents an important step in delivering our London value-add workspace strategy and creating a best-in-class asset with enduring occupier appeal.”
