A £74m redevelopment of Bristol’s prominent Canons Wharf office complex is set to move forward after a major financing agreement cleared the way for construction to begin. Puma Property Finance has secured its largest loan to date, providing £74m to support a joint venture between Mactaggart Family & Partners and Kinrise. The funding will enable a comprehensive low-carbon refit of the Grade II-listed waterfront estate, located at the heart of Bristol’s Harbourside. The scheme will transform the former Lloyds Banking Group regional headquarters into around 165,000 sq ft of modern office accommodation across two buildings, complemented by 18,000 sq ft of food and beverage space overlooking the Amphitheatre. Designed for flexibility, the buildings can operate either as a single corporate headquarters or as a multi-let campus, responding to changing occupier demands. Alongside office space, the redevelopment will deliver a wide range of amenities aimed at creating a high-quality workplace environment. These include a gym and wellness facilities, saunas, an auditorium, a rooftop pavilion, landscaped gardens and terraces, helping to position the scheme as a leading example of next-generation office design. Sustainability sits at the core of the project. The refit is targeting BREEAM Excellent, EPC A, WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Gold ratings. A low-carbon retrofit strategy will be employed, retaining and reusing the existing structures to significantly reduce embodied carbon while upgrading performance through improved glazing and natural ventilation. The all-electric buildings will be powered by green energy and will utilise water-source heat pumps drawing from the adjacent harbour. Rooftop solar panels, new tree planting and extensive green landscaping will further support the scheme’s environmental credentials. Originally designed by Arup Associates and constructed by Bovis Construction in the late 1980s, Cannons House was awarded Grade II-listed status in 2023 in recognition of its architectural importance and contribution to the regeneration of Bristol’s docks. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026, with practical completion targeted for late 2027. Once complete, the project is expected to play a key role in redefining Bristol’s office market, delivering a landmark example of sustainable retrofit within a historic urban setting.

Work is due to begin later this year on a major refurbishment of Holborn Circus, as developer Tishman Speyer prepares to appoint a contractor for the landmark Farringdon building. Construction is scheduled to start in the second half of the year at the former Sainsbury’s headquarters, marking the next stage in the building’s evolution. The project will reimagine the property as a modern, highly sustainable office destination designed for the future of work. Plans include the introduction of new internal atriums to bring more light into the building, a complete overhaul of the ground floor and basement spaces, and the creation of a new roof terrace offering outdoor amenity space. Martin Simonneau, Managing Director at Tishman Speyer, said the scheme reflects the company’s confidence in London’s office market and its long-term prospects. He added that the development will draw on Tishman Speyer’s placemaking and development expertise, with the aim of delivering one of the City’s most attractive and environmentally responsible working environments.

The latest research by BPS London has revealed that London’s office sector is being held back by a lack of investment in refurbishment and remodelling, with just 7.5% of currently available office rental stock in the capital considered premium workspace. BPS London analysed the size and annual change of the UK commercial property remodelling sector, before conducting further analysis of current London office rental listing stock to assess how much of the market is meeting the standard expected by today’s workforce. Commercial property remodelling sector on the decline The research* shows that in 2022, following the removal of Covid restrictions, the commercial property remodelling sector boomed as businesses adapted to reduced physical attendance and evolving workplace expectations. In total, the sector grew to £6.86bn, marking an annual increase of 25.1%, a rate of growth which then slowed dramatically in 2023 (+6.1%) and 2024 (+1.2%) What’s more, in 2025 the commercial property remodelling market declined by -2.1% to £7.21bn and is forecast to fall by a further -2.7% in 2026, down to £7.01bn. Just 7.5% of available London offices considered premium BPS London believes this decline is arriving at precisely the wrong time, as London’s office market continues to evolve in a post-pandemic landscape and occupiers demand higher-quality, fit-for-purpose space. In fact, BPS London’s analysis** of current London office rental opportunities shows that the vast majority of available stock sits below premium price thresholds. Almost half of office rentals are priced between £31 and £60 per sq ft (46.6%), while more than a quarter fall into the lowest price bracket of £0 to £30 per sq ft (27.4%). Just 7.5% command a premium price point of £91+ per sq ft. Current London offices fail to provide even most basic features Further analysis*** of the features currently being advertised within London’s office rental stock also suggests that many buildings are failing to meet even baseline expectations. Security / security systems were the most common feature, present in 60% of listings, while only 35% of listings provide 24-hour access, despite the evolving working patterns seen since the pandemic. Meanwhile, controlled access is present in just 21% of office rentals. On-site amenities remain limited across much of the capital’s current office stock, with just 18% offering an on-site restaurant and 17% featuring a roof terrace. Fitness centres and concierge services are each available in only 5% of listings, whilst features such as day care and leisure facilities are virtually non-existent, accounting for just 0.1% of available listings stock respectively. Commenting on the findings, Mahir Vachani, Director at BPS London, said: “It’s been said that that mid-week office attendance has now returned to post-pandemic levels and that’s great news for London’s commercial sector. However, the workplace has changed dramatically since Covid, and the capital’s workforce now has higher expectations than ever before when it comes to the quality of their working environment. Today, flexible working is the norm and that means businesses can’t expect employees to commit to travelling into the office if the space itself feels tired, uninspiring, and poorly equipped. Yet our analysis shows that just a small proportion of London’s current office rentals can be considered premium, while many buildings are still falling short on fundamentals such as security, controlled access, and 24-hour availability. At the same time, the UK commercial property remodelling sector has started to contract, with a decline recorded in 2025 and a further reduction forecast for 2026. This is happening at a point where investment is needed most, not only to modernise London’s office stock, but to create fit-for-purpose workspaces that support productivity, wellbeing, and the expectations of the modern-day worker.” Data Tables and Sources Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Ares Management to fully occupy the 124,000 sq ft office floorspace in The Crown Estate’s One Hanover Street redevelopment in one of the largest lettings in the West End The Crown Estate has unveiled details of the latest project in its London development pipeline, One Hanover Street, within the Regent Street Partnership – a longstanding joint venture with Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM). The project will see the redevelopment of 124,000 sq ft of office space above the iconic Apple store on Regent Street, with six levels of quality new floorspace – including a new rooftop pavilion and seventh floor terrace overlooking the West End. The Crown Estate has pre-let the entire super-prime office space to Ares Management, a leading global alternative investment manager and existing customer currently occupying 39,000 sq ft within 10 New Burlington Street. The completion of this transaction marks the largest deal in the West End by rent roll and size in 2025, the largest deal in the Core West End Market in the last two years, and the third largest deal ever recorded in the core Mayfair and St James’s submarkets[1]. The landmark letting underscores The Crown Estate’s continued commitment to supporting world-class businesses in the West End through the delivery of high-quality, future-ready workplaces. Reflecting investment by The Crown Estate to strengthen the area’s commercial vitality, this pre-let supports a broader long-term vision to curate a vibrant and resilient destination in the heart of London, with quality commercial spaces underpinned by world-class retail and leisure. Kristy Lansdown, Managing Director for Development at The Crown Estate, said: “One Hanover Street marks the latest step on our journey to reinvigorate our portfolio across the West End, with an ambitious vision that looks at the entire area. “Our development pipeline will reposition heritage assets in this famous epicentre of the Capital to create market-leading, modern, sustainable workspace. At the same time, we are working in partnership with Westminster City Council to reimagine the area’s public realm – creating a welcoming, accessible and resilient place that benefits workers, visitors and residents alike. Together, this reflects our key approach for this historic part of London; to invest in the area as a whole and deliver world-class places that work for all those who interact with it today and well into the future.” Charles Owen, Head of Portfolio Management – Regent Street at The Crown Estate, said: “The letting at One Hanover Street to Ares is a landmark deal for The Crown Estate and one of the most significant leases in the West End office market, demonstrating the enduring strength of demand for high-quality office space in prime locations. “We believe this long-term commitment by Ares is testament to our reputation for curating high-quality workspaces that evolve with occupier needs, as part of Regent Street’s global appeal.” The Crown Estate is targeting the first quarter of 2027 to complete the redevelopment, following not only the design and delivery of quality new floorspace, but also a focus on sustainability credentials with extensive upgrades made to the existing plant to remove fossil fuels from the building and reduce its operational carbon. The redevelopment of One Hanover Street adds to The Crown Estate’s growing pipeline of developments in the West End, with New Zealand House and 10 Spring Gardens due to complete later this year, while work is ongoing at 33-35 Piccadilly. JLL and BCLP acted on behalf of The Crown Estate, and CBRE and Fladgate acted on behalf of Ares Management. Savills acts as Development Manager on behalf of The Crown Estate for One Hanover Street, with Wates as the contractor and Orms Architects as the Lead Architect.

Developer Edge, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, is preparing to move ahead with a £150m redevelopment of 125 Shaftesbury Avenue after securing a major funding package for the West End scheme. Sir Robert McAlpine is understood to be the preferred contractor for the large-scale office refurbishment, which is being taken forward on a speculative basis. With funding now in place, construction is expected to start early this year once enabling works and strip-out are completed by John F Hunt. The project, known as EDGE Shaftesbury, is backed by a consortium of Japanese equity investors including Tokyo Tatemono, Toko Electrical Construction and Fuyo General Lease, alongside development finance provided by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank. The investment underlines continued confidence in prime London office space despite wider market uncertainty. The scheme already has planning consent to transform the existing 1980s building into approximately 250,000 sq ft of modern workspace. Proposals include a reconfigured main entrance on Charing Cross Road, new rooftop terraces and upgraded office floors designed to meet the expectations of contemporary occupiers. Completion is targeted for 2028. A central feature of the redevelopment is its low-carbon strategy. Around 75% of the existing structure will be retained, significantly reducing embodied carbon compared with a full demolition and rebuild. The refurbishment will also increase the building’s height from 11 to 13 storeys and introduce new ground-floor workspace to enhance street-level activity. Fons van Dorst, managing director UK at Edge, said securing the funding represented a key milestone for the project and its partnership with Mitsubishi Estate London. He added that the move into delivery would allow the team to focus on creating a high-quality, future-ready office building that benefits occupiers, neighbours and the wider city. Once complete, the development is expected to play a prominent role in the ongoing renewal of London’s West End office market.

Developers Gamuda Berhad and Castleforge have formally appointed Multiplex to deliver the £250m main construction contract for the redevelopment of 75 London Wall in the City of London. The contract was signed this week, clearing the way for full construction to begin on the landmark scheme following extensive enabling and demolition works carried out by the Erith Group. The wider redevelopment carries an overall project value of £1.2bn, with practical completion targeted for the first quarter of 2028. Multiplex has been closely involved in the scheme for the past year under a pre-construction services agreement, working alongside the development team to refine buildability, programme and sustainability strategies ahead of the main works commencing. Once complete, the redevelopment of 75 London Wall will deliver more than 450,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation, repositioning an existing large-scale building into a future-ready commercial asset at a time when availability of high-quality office space in the City remains constrained. Niall Farmer, head of Gamuda Land UK at Gamuda Berhad, said the contract award marked an important step in the group’s expansion in the UK market and its strategy to unlock long-term value from prime London assets. He added that the scheme represents a rare opportunity to transform a building of scale into highly sustainable workspace at a point when demand for top-tier offices continues to outstrip supply. Michael Kovacs, founding partner of Castleforge, said the timing of the project was critical. With office construction starts in London at their lowest level in almost two decades, he said bringing the scheme to completion in 2028 would help address acute supply shortages, noting that successful office investment often requires building through the quieter parts of the cycle. Callum Tuckett, managing director of Multiplex, said delivering a project of this scale in the heart of the City demands both technical expertise and innovation. He added that the scheme would set a new benchmark for sustainable commercial development, with the contractor’s early involvement enabling the project team to move swiftly into the delivery phase. The redevelopment is expected to play a significant role in shaping the next generation of City office space. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
London could be on the brink of a major office construction surge, with developers arguing that the right conditions are finally lining up – provided the planning system becomes more flexible. Fresh analysis from the London Property Alliance and Knight Frank suggests that modernising the capital’s ageing office stock could generate an £84 billion economic uplift and release £262 billion in investment value. Their new report, Space for Change: Office space dynamics in central London, highlights the scale of the challenge: between 2018 and 2023, London’s central activities zone (broadly the area covered by Underground zone 1) lost around 14 million square feet of office space. Over the next five years, the capital is expected to face an 11 million square foot shortfall. Much of the existing stock is no longer fit for purpose. The report notes that 56% of central London offices – around 147 million square feet – are rated as secondary space, offering ageing, lower-quality environments that will fall short of mandatory sustainability requirements by 2030. As a result, upgrading or redeveloping these buildings is becoming increasingly urgent. Vacancy rates for prime space have tightened considerably. Availability of top-tier offices is near historic lows, with just 0.8% of prime and 1.7% of Grade A space currently unoccupied. Only a dozen very large single-floor offices above 40,000 square feet – the sort favoured by major firms consolidating staff – are on the market. Demand from occupiers is strong. Companies are actively searching for 10 million square feet of space, around 7% above the long-term average, propelled chiefly by financial and professional services firms. While 15.4 million square feet of new offices are due to complete between 2025 and 2029, a significant share is already pre-let or situated outside the high-demand areas of the City and West End. This pipeline not only falls short of replacing space lost since 2018, it also fails to meet current or future requirements. Representing central London’s leading developers and investors, the London Property Alliance is calling for a shift in approach, arguing that major office projects should be treated as essential economic infrastructure. They say planning and regulatory processes should be streamlined to improve development viability. Developers report that viability is one of the biggest barriers they face, made worse by a complex and often costly planning framework. They want planning authorities to simplify regulations, reduce obligations and lower the financial burden placed on new schemes. Ross Sayers, chair of the City Property Association and head of development management at Landsec, noted that rising construction, labour and finance costs, combined with growing planning obligations, are putting many projects under pressure. He stressed the need for collaborative, pragmatic solutions to ensure central London remains a world-class business hub. James Raynor, chair of the Westminster Property Association and chief executive of Grosvenor Property, warned that ageing office stock threatens future supply without intervention. He believes that modernising these buildings through flexible, forward-looking planning policies could unlock significant economic growth while supporting net-zero goals and local communities. Shabab Qadar, Knight Frank’s head of central London research and author of the report, described a systemic problem in the office market: demand for high-quality space continues to rise, but supply cannot keep up as buildings are repurposed and planning hurdles restrict redevelopment. He argues that the case for upgrading London’s older office stock has never been stronger. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Railpen, manager of the £34bn railways pension scheme in the UK, has completed the renovation of the Rotunda, a Grade II-listed former piano factory, into state-of-the-art offices at its Jamestown Courtyard development in London’s Camden neighbourhood. Jamestown Courtyard, the 45,000 sq ft development comprised of seven heritage buildings, now has only two floors to let in the completed Rotunda: the 4,054 sq ft courtyard floor and the 4,742 sq ft third floor. The Rotunda – which provides panoramic, 360-degree views across Regents Park, Camden Lock and Central London – is a four-minute walk from Camden Town tube station and an eight-minute cycle to King’s Cross and St Pancras International stations. As a key anchor to the development, the Rotunda is a character-rich workspace, creating the ideal, open-plan structure environment for the likes of architecture firms, production and studio companies, and other creative industry professionals. Railpen is also committed to enhancing the wider public realm of Jamestown Courtyard, adding greenery and seating to create a space that the local community wants to spend time in, and drive growth for nearby retailers and hospitality operators. The Rotunda is already home to a range of tenants, including Acamar Films on the ground floor, while building services consultants Max Fordham occupy the first and second floors. The completion of the Rotunda is complemented by 12 Oval Road, also part of Railpen’s Jamestown Courtyard development, being fully let, following the lease renewal of music management company, Trinifold. Emily Atkinson, Asset and Transaction Manager at Railpen, said: “Across our entire UK portfolio, we are dedicated to developing standout, state-of-the-art office developments, and the Rotunda at Jamestown Courtyard is absolutely no exception. The blend of history and modernity, as well as its proximity to Central London and other major landmarks, reflects our commitment to supporting the evolving needs of modern occupiers, offering flexibility, character and a strong sense of place within a vibrant community. “This project is a key part of our wider office strategy to create well-designed, sustainable workplaces that support how people want to work today and in the future, creating lasting value for both occupiers and the wider community.” Alasdair Reid, Director at Max Fordham, said: “The Rotunda at Jamestown Courtyard really is something unique. Whether it’s the prime location, spectacular views or characterful interiors, we are proud to call it our home. Railpen positively engaged with our wishes for a much-improved environmental performance, and they have delivered a state-of-the-art office asset within this wonderful historic building. We look forward to welcoming our new neighbours in the near future.” Jamestown Courtyard forms just one of Railpen’s office developments in London and the wider UK, sitting alongside the recently launched 101 Bayham Street, which is also situated close by in Camden, as well as 125 Wood Street in the heart of the city, 4 Coleman Street, which is being delivered in Q2 2026, and the upcoming refurbishment of Red Lion Square in Holborn. Its portfolio also includes 11 assets across Cambridge, including Mill Yard and Botanic Place, both of which are under construction, and Multistory in Birmingham. JLL and Edward Charles & Partners are the leasing agents on Jamestown Courtyard. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Wates Smartspace has announced the completion of the full refurbishment of Lloyds Banking Group’s historic Grade II-listed Trinity Road office in Halifax, West Yorkshire, delivering a future-ready workplace for 3,500 colleagues. The project, delivered in collaboration with Lloyds Banking Group and Calderdale Council, is being hailed as a landmark office transformation that establishes a new regional benchmark for sustainable, inclusive, and heritage-led construction. The iconic 317,000 sq. ft, diamond-shaped Trinity building was originally opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 1974. Wates has preserved its unique architectural significance, ensuring key heritage features such as the York Stone façade, listed timber panelling, and distinctive glass grid lighting remain intact, continuing the building’s status as a Halifax landmark. Sustainable and Economic Impact The transformation has significantly improved the building’s environmental performance, making the site three times more energy efficient than before. Key sustainability features include: Thermal Upgrades: These were implemented alongside the heat pump system to boost the building’s efficiency. Beyond the environmental benefits, the project delivered a major economic boost to the local area. Wates funnelled over £20 million through local suppliers and its supply chain supported 112 people into employment, including 75 apprentices. Furthermore, 460 students benefitted from site visits and career talks, with nearly 100 students now undertaking T-level qualifications, graduate placements, and apprenticeships with Lloyds at the Halifax office. Wates also partnered with local charities, including Mothershare and Overgate Hospice, donated furniture, sponsored school activities, and contributed over 6,000 hours volunteering to community projects. Scott Camp, Managing Director at Wates Smartspace, commented: “At Wates, our purpose is to reimagine places for people to thrive, and we are proud to have delivered that in this landmark transformation of Lloyds Banking Group’s historic Halifax building. We’ve honoured the building’s unique heritage while introducing sustainable solutions that make it three times more energy efficient and future ready. This project demonstrates how modernisation and preservation can go hand in hand, delivering a workplace that celebrates its past while embracing a greener, more inclusive future.” Sharon Doherty, Chief People and Places Officer at Lloyds Banking Group, described the investment as a testament to the company’s commitment to Yorkshire, its colleagues, and the region’s future. Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire, hailed the investment as a “fantastic vote of confidence” in the region, noting that Lloyds is “setting the bar high for how businesses can preserve our heritage whilst embracing innovation.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
RED Construction Group, the specialist contractor, has announced the completion of a £20.5m office refurbishment to Aviva Investors’ Grade II listed Victorian building, 134 – 146 Curtain House, in Shoreditch. Carried out by RED Construction’s London team, the six-storey, 54,000 sq ft building has undergone an extensive refurbishment, including the introduction of rooftop terraces covering 3,700 sq ft, structural alterations to the existing office into Cat A and B workspace, a new main entrance, reception area, and lifts. Originally built between 1881 and 1887, Curtain House was first used for furniture and clothing manufacturing, and now hosts 40,000 sq ft of office space for the modern-day tenant. Designed by architects Anomaly, Curtain House has been refurbished with a primary focus on sustainable practices, achieving BREEAM Excellent and an EPC A rating. Complementing the rich history associated with the building, RED’s London team carried out considered external masonry, window and timber floor restoration, and repair of internal brickwork and steel columns. Tony O’Farrell, Divisional Director at RED Construction London, commented: “Considered refurbishment of heritage-rich sites is a core part of RED Construction Group’s expertise, with our London team having successfully delivered an extensive portfolio of developments across multiple sectors in the capital. These types of projects are extremely important and rewarding, especially when we partner with a client like Aviva Investors, that shares our deep-rooted commitment to social value, alongside a desire to evolve buildings in a way that retains heritage.” Petr Esposito, Co-Founder/Director at Anomaly, added: “Working alongside a deliciously formidable team that fundamentally understands the importance of heritage, its nuances, its irks, its challenges, its charms, and is committed to developing innovative and sustainable practices to best support the retrofit of a gorgeous historic site such as Curtain House, is unquestionably imperative. RED Construction Group have been the ideal partner to bring the relentless ambition of Aviva Investors to life, delivering our combined vision for what is a truly landmark, truly naughty building.” Aiming to build a more inclusive and dynamic future for the industry and committed to leaving a positive legacy, RED Construction Group partnered with Aviva Investors on a range of social value initiatives to give back to the community. Alongside partnerships spanning wood recycling initiatives and creative placemaking, the Curtain House team has maintained a long-term partnership with The Land Collective as part of their Black Girls in Property programme. Intended to equip young black women with skills and knowledge for careers in the built environment, the team has held four repeat engagement events through the project’s duration that include a site tour for 20 students, a three-day ‘Investing in Your Future’ initiative, two internships, and an engagement event showcasing the progress of the project. The emphasis on Social Value initiatives at Curtain House has meant that the project has surpassed its initial targets across an array of education metrics. Including the work with The Land Collective, RED has through the course of the project helped to deliver nearly four times more than the targeted number of educational hours for outreach, and more than double the number of work experience placement days.
