Planning permission has been secured for 78-90 Colmore Row, marking a key step in its evolution – a sensitive refurbishment that balances heritage with modern functionality.   Working with GPAD Architects, we’re carefully retaining and refurbishing this Edwardian Neo-Baroque landmark, preserving its architectural character while enhancing accessibility, introducing a new business lounge, and strengthening connectivity to Cathedral Square.   Retrofitting doesn’t mean compromising. Sustainability is embedded in our approach, ensuring the building meets the highest environmental standards while responding to its immediate context.   Sustainability Highlights: - Responsibly sourced and recyclable materials wherever possible - Targeting LETI B minimum for upfront embodied carbon in construction - Aiming for BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification - Targeting a minimum EPC B rating - Smart technologies and renewable energy solutions - AirRated Platinum and WELL certification - More than 10% Biodiversity Net Gain - A 2,700 sq ft roof terrace   Read more: https://lnkd.in/ePw9VgaG   A huge thanks to the project team: MARLBOROUGH PROPERTIES LIMITED, GPAD, CBRE, 2110 Consult Limited, Lichfields UK, Cundall, Ashton Fire, Whitby Wood, Point 2, CHP, Sweco & HAZE viz.

“The challenge isn’t opposition to innovation; it’s the perception of risk. Our role is to close the information gaps, making new ideas feel safe and doable.” Circularity in the built environment demands more than just good intentions—it requires a shift in how we think about risk, value, and long-term adaptability. In conversation with adam ozinsky, Senior Associate at 3XN/GXN, we explored how design can make circular principles not just viable, but inevitable.

Twas the night before Christmas when Albar Capital Partners LLP signed the lease for the newly fitted ground floor space at One Smart’s Place. Welcome Albar, you’ve made a great choice 😉   Securing this letting within six weeks of PC, and at a rental premium to underwrite, reinforces the power of bold design and functional spaces in shaping a tenant’s vision. Previously based on Dover Street, Mayfair, Albar Capital Partners chose OSP for its prime location, thoughtfully designed fit-out, and exceptional amenities.    A note from Albar:  "Our new office at OSP offers the perfect balance of convenience and quality, with amazing facilities—The Press meeting rooms, shower and bike amenities, and live fibre connections. The fit-out is well-designed, welcoming, and seamlessly integrates common and working spaces. Plus, the diligent and friendly front-of-house team makes it even better." A huge thanks to everyone involved in this repositioning and the letting!

It’s been great delivering Forge, Woking from cradle to grave for Swiss Life Asset Managers UK Taking AB InBev House from an outdated office to a vibrant, amenity fuelled building has shown that best in class is what occupiers are looking for. Letting the building to Aspris, BOC, Nomad Foods, Verint and 2H offshore is testament to the building’s quality. Despite battling with both Brexit and Covid, the repositioning was a huge success and has extended the life of the building for another 25+ years! Thanks to everyone involved in the Forge journey!
