Commercial developments should do much more than just provide workspace — they should enhance the area around it. That’s why we are proud to see St Pancras Campus highlighted by Chris Foges in RIBA Journal as a benchmark for thoughtful urban #regeneration. Designed by Caruso St John Architects Llp, the project balances contemporary design with the rich character of its #Camden surroundings. With a mix of high-quality offices, residential spaces, including nearly half affordable housing, and maker spaces, it reflects our commitment to building well and creating places that work for both people and the city. By integrating public spaces, active ground floors, and long-lasting materials, St Pancras Campus proves that speculative development can be both commercially successful and architecturally ambitious.

A few years ago, we had the opportunity to completely reimagine the workspace offer at 14 Meard Street.   With WeWork exiting the building, we had a perfectly serviceable office on our hands, but knew that we could create something even more special - that delivers both on what modern tenants need and return for our backers.   The solution was a delicate and targeted refit, revamping amenity spaces, upgrading workspaces, and injecting the office building with a refined and stylish aesthetic reflective of its trendy Soho location.   Now rebranded as The Deck, and 100% let to a mix of tenants including global tech start ups, we pleased at how we were able to turn this space from generic serviced office into something truly unique, and highly popular.   Tenants can benefit from private outdoor terraces, a large bookable boardroom, bike racks, showers and a communal lounge with on-site barista and beer taps.   Find out more about The Deck, 14 Meard Street: https://lnkd.in/d57uafeP #FlexibleOffices #Offices #Workspace

We have successfully refinanced our multi-let office space in #Mayfair, 75 Grosvenor Street, with Canada Life Asset Management , which has provided a £41m six-year fixed-rate loan.   Mayfair’s popularity as an office location has surged over the last years, ranking it as the most sought-after area on FreeOfficeFinder’s list. Recognising this demand, we transformed three Grade II listed buildings into a unified prime Mayfair office, blending modern workspaces with restored heritage details.   Securing this refinancing for 75 Grosvenor Street not only ensures the future of this remarkable property but also reinforces our commitment to preserving its legacy while adapting it for modern use.   It was a pleasure to work with Mark Dunstan who led the project from Canada Life Asset Management, as well as Brotherton Real Estate and Fieldfisher teams who closed the transaction in the expected timeframe.

With only 57,000 sq ft of office space and a few rental flats left, St Pancras Campus has proven to be a popular location for businesses and residents who want to live and work within walking distance of Camden's vibrant nightlife and the cutting-edge life sciences and tech industries in the King's Cross Knowledge Quarter. Take a look and discover spaces designed to inspire: a grand 5,500 sq ft reception, an extraordinary club room, and a communal roof terrace offering panoramic London views. If you are interested in securing the remaining office space, please contact Hannah Buxton, Jordan Adair or William Caldwell at RX London or Georgina Willoughby MRICS, Richard Howard or Alexander Rae MRICS at CBRE. #buildinglaunch #Camden #Knowledgequarter

St Pancras Campus is blossoming into a vibrant place to live, work, and soak up the culture. We're pleased to share that we have completed the sale of 14 homes at this mixed-use campus to Origin Housing, a registered social landlord with all flats available at an affordable rent. 42% of the housing at St Pancras Campus is designated affordable - above and beyond requirements in the London Plan. And with over half of the homes already occupied, and the market rate apartments 75% let, the campus is quickly becoming an exciting place to be. Stay tuned for more updates on St Pancras Campus in the coming weeks. 📸 : Richard Chivers

Creating thriving neighbourhoods means developing diverse and varied places with a mix of uses - offices, culture, and of course, homes.   At St Pancras Campus, we're creating the microcosm of a neighbourhood with multiple carefully curated uses tessellated into one mixed-use city block - set around a publicly accessible landscaped pocket park.   The 33 homes at St Pancras Campus - already over 75% let since going onto the market at the end of 2024 - will not only benefit from the mix of uses on site, but also the variety of activities on offer on the doorstep. With Kings Cross and London's globally-respected Knowledge Quarter to the east and south, and the unique cultural offer of Camden to the west, St Pancras Campus' new residents will be at home whether they are looking for a days out with high-end shopping, nights of undiscovered live music, or simply to be close to the office.   CBRE and RX London are jointly coordinating lettings for the commercial space at St Pancras Campus, with Dexters taking the lead on the residential side - find out more from Richard Howard, Jordan Adair, Hannah Buxton, Georgina Willoughby MRICS and Jon Hill respectively.   #London #Development #Homes #Residential #MixedUse

What does it take to make flex work? Looking across our portfolio and analysing the wider market, we can see that a one-size-fits-all approach won't work as this sector matures - the flight to quality means that today's tenants demand individuality. We've been playing a precise game of matchmaking throughout our portfolio, finding the right building for the right product, paired with the right operator for the right demographic. As an example, we selected Work.Life to manage 22,000 sq ft of coworking space at our Typewriter building on Borough High Street. A youthful fit-out, including retro artwork to reference the building’s past as HQ of a typewriter firm, appeals to younger tenants in London Bridge’s growing tech and creative sectors. Adapting the building’s flex provision to the area’s demographic has paid off: Typewriter was fully let within months of its launch.

Arding & Hobbs's iconic former tearoom and dance floor, with its stunning glass roof and dome, will soon have a whole new life.   We are excited to announce that this incredible space will be transformed into The Arding Rooms — a new private members' club operated by our partner, x+why.   Opening this spring, The Arding Rooms will offer a stylish setting to meet, dine, and entertain. Members will get to experience the grandeur of this beautifully restored Grade II listed building, along with a newly created terrace featuring lush greenery and panoramic views across London.   We're proud to be working with x+why, another certified B Corp, to bring the space which we have lovingly restored to life.

We're pleased to share the news that Arding & Hobbs has the prestigious honour of being one of the National and International winners at the 2025 CIVIC TRUST AWARDS. Established in 1959 to recognise outstanding architecture, planning, and design in the built environment, this accolade marks out our project as one of the most significant of the past year. With previous winners including the Royal Festival Hall and the London 2012 Olympic Velodrome, Arding & Hobbs now rightly finds itself amongst esteemed company. Our retrofit of the Grade II listed landmark in #ClaphamJunction, with Stiff + Trevillion Architects, has not only allowed us to protect and restore the 19th century building, but given it a new lease of life with an active high street frontage and modern office space in the upper floors. Thank you to the Civic Trust Awards jury. 📸 : Richard Chivers
