BentallGreenOak announces the completion of its 78 St James’s Street Redevelopment with tenant commitments in place for 50% of the property

London (May 25, 2022) — BentallGreenOak announces the completion of its 78 St James’s Street redevelopment, with 50% of the scheme let or under offer at practical completion. Deals have been signed with US private equity firm King Street Capital, hedge fund Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, and fintech business GP Bullhound. A further floor is close to signing with another financial services occupier.

The redevelopment has focused on providing world class modern workspace, whilst redefining the benchmark for landlord offered amenities. The heritage element of the grade II* listed building, which dates back to the 1830s, has been transformed into tenant's amenity with the ground floor providing a business lounge; the original brick vaults converted into a wellness suite, a gym and the Collab Space - a multi-function room which can serve as an auditorium or host fitness classes.

The building has been extended to create a shared Pavilion and rooftop terrace, with panoramic views across Westminster and Green Park. Alexander Morris, Head of London Development at BentallGreenOak said: “We have delivered the redevelopment of 78 St James’s Street through a global pandemic, creating an ultra-modern workspace with the very best amenities in a stunning heritage environment and have attracted a stellar line-up of occupiers to the building who see the value of their teams being able to work together in a best in class business environment.”

JLL and BNP Paribas Real Estate are the appointed letting agents on the scheme.
