Candour Properties

Creative and sustainable retrofit of office to hotel approved! Exciting news—GRID Architects’ plans to transform the former Diageo HQ in Park Royal into a 429-room hotel were approved by the OPDC last night! A whole life cycle carbon assessment confirmed that retaining the building is the most sustainable approach, delivering significant embodied carbon savings. At a time when some planning departments are receiving a bashing from our industry, officers must be congratulated for their thorough engagement in the process and the committee members for their pragmatic deliberation. Key features: ✔️ Split-level atrium with a gym, co-working spaces, lounges & a café—open to the local community with membership at a discounted rate. ✔️ Basement car park reconfigured as a self-storage facility ✔️ New landscaping to enhance net biodiversity ✔️ Minimal intervention, maximum impact The project carried out for a JV comprising of LSL Partners, Central & Provincial Properties, Candour Properties, Legendre Company, Select Investments and Eastborough Partners adds to GRID’s growing portfolio in adaptive reuse & hospitality.

It’s been a busy few months at Candour Properties following the acquisition of Grove House in Hammersmith and the former Diageo headquarters in Park Royal. We look forward to bringing new vibrant mixed-use schemes to both properties with a focus on minimising the environmental and carbon impact of the developments through the preservation of both properties. We would like to thank our development and investment partners on these projects and we look forward to acquiring and delivering more projects of the highest quality for our investors, partners, clients and local communities.
