Shepherd Market Holdings, represented by international real estate advisor Savills, has let 2 – 4 Shepherd Street in Mayfair, London to ITALIANS CLUBHOUSE LTD. The privately owned Italian operator plans to create a new public restaurant and private members club at the property.
ITALIANS CLUBHOUSE LTD is backed by i2i (Italians to Italians), the venture capital firm of a leading London- based Italian family office. The operator, which is currently launching similar venues in Notting Hill and Shoreditch, will develop an Italian wine bar managed by the award-winning Vini Italiani plus a ground floor restaurant and an invitation only members club on the first floor. The second floor will feature gaming facilities, private dining options, a barber, tailor and spirits lounge.
Matteo Cerri, CEO of i2i, comments: “We are extremely excited about this latest venue which we wish to transform into our group’s ‘gem’. ITALIANS CLUBHOUSE aims to be a place where you can fully immerge yourself in the quality of an Italian lifestyle, whether for a business meeting or for relaxing. It is a place where our successful format #EatDrinkLoveItalian can be enjoyed every day.”
Oliver Green, director in the Central London retail team at Savills, comments: “Shepherd Market has a rapidly growing reputation as an established hub for high quality, independent restaurants, clubs, retail stores and art galleries in Mayfair. This new venue will complement the existing retail and leisure mix well, and we are now working with our client to let the final two available units.”
