Office development to span Bond Street Underground Station

British Land has appointed McLaren Construction to deliver a new office scheme at 75 Davies Street, located above the West One Shopping Centre and Bond Street Underground Station on London’s Oxford Street.

The £99 million Design and Build contract, combining new build and retrofit, will deliver premium grade commercial space over seven storeys.

The project includes an expanded office reception area, cycle storage, and shower facilities, a courtyard on the second and third floors, terraces on other office floors, a new core and rooftop plant rooms.

The new design is said to minimise the embodied carbon of the refurbished building by retaining around 60% of the existing concrete structure and uses a lightweight steel structure from the second floor upwards to add more floors and maximise the net internal area.

Darren Gill, Managing Director for London & South at McLaren Construction, commented: “All the technical challenges of this project – reusing an existing structure, working around commercial tenants and above a busy underground station – are increasingly familiar as Oxford Street reinvents itself and developers strive to provide quality modern space without wholesale demolition.”

Work is due to complete in the first quarter of 2029.
