Mayfair & St James

The Piccadilly Estate

In December 2017, plans were approved to turn a part of RB’s Piccadilly estate into one of London’s grandest hotels.   The scheme includes the conversion of three historic buildings: the Grade I listed 94 Piccadilly, formerly home of the In & Out Club, 90-93 Piccadilly (Green Park Chambers) and 95 Piccadilly (the former American Club). It also involves the adjacent non-listed buildings at 42 Half Moon Street and 10 – 12 White Horse Street.  This five-star Mayfair hotel development with stunning views over Green Park will feature 102 keys, a 2,360 sq ft grand ballroom, restaurant, bars, a spa, pool and gym, and seven residential apartments which will benefit from all the hotel amenities.  Construction is progressing and the hotel will open in 2024.

In April 2020, planning consent was received to completely reconfigure 100 Piccadilly, converting the existing office space to residential whilst significantly expanding the Grade II listed building providing upto 36 luxurious new apartments, including a duplex penthouse within the innovative roof design. A significant number of these benefit from new balconies and terraces that have been cleverly incorporated into the design. The 9 storey structure will boast commanding views over Green Park and Shepherd Market. A new double height café/bar on Piccadilly will enliven the street frontage. Residents will benefit from concierge service, fitness suite and enhanced communal amenities  together with generous parking provision. The contemporary new roof has been designed using the principles of fractal geometry whilst being inspired by the herringbone pattern used traditionally on church spires.

The properties were acquired by the Reuben Brothers in 2011, having sat empty and on the Heritage and Risk register since 1999.

Carrington Street

In August 2017, Westminster City Council approved the redevelopment of the NCP car park on Carrington Street together with associated buildings at Brick Street and Yarmouth Place.

This c. 200,000 sq ft major new development is scheduled for completion in November 2024 and will contain 28 super prime apartments at One Carrington Street, and a business and wellness space by Robin Birley separated by a new walkway between Shepherd Market and Piccadilly.  The Carrington is spread across 70,000 square feet on seven floors, two basements, several terraces.  It will feature several F&B outlets, gym, spa, 25 metre pool.  For those that apply and join The Carrington access is possible from the apartments via a direct and private entrance, meaning owners could have access to the largest private members amenity space in London.

This development is a part of a wider regeneration project to establish The Piccadilly Estate as a world class residential and lifestyle destination.

139 Piccadilly

Westminster council granted permission in February 2015 to extend and convert this Grade II listed building, within the Mayfair Conservation Area, into a  single home. The building was previously home to the poet Lord Byron, British journalist and Conservative politician Lord Glensk, and the Duke of Queensbury. The property was originally built in the mid-18th century, and subsequent to its use as office space since the 20th century, is being transformed back to its original status as a grand residence. The approved plans are for an eight-bedroom mansion 14,624 sq ft GIA over seven floors with a swimming pool, sauna, gym, roof terrace and staff quarters.  There is an additional 2,005 sq ft of garages.

St James

Admiralty Arch is one of London’s most notable landmarks.  The Grade I listed property offers unmatched views of Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column.

A transformational project to restore the building to its former glory, and provide a 200,000 sq ft of mixed usages, is well underway.  The development will consist of a 5 star hotel with 102 keys managed by a leading operator, branded residences, and a private membership club.

The hotel will feature 3 restaurants, with the main one located in the first bridging floor of the arch itself and offering views directly down The Mall towards Buckingham Palace.  The roof terrace restaurant, with alfresco dining, will also provide views over the palace.

Two new sublevels have been created either side of the arch to house amenities including a state of the art spa, 20 meter pool, and expansive ballroom.
