DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
LGP is committed to developing world class buildings, using internationally renowned architects and consultants. In London, current projects include Walbrook Square, Central Saint Giles and 315-319 Oxford Street. Outside London, LGP has a number of major schemes including the regeneration of Bracknell Town Centre, the redevelopment of the Grosvenor Shopping Centre in Northampton and the regeneration of 250 acres in Crowthorne, Berkshire.
CENTRAL SAINT GILES, LONDON
)
Central Saint Giles will be a striking new mixed use development
providing 400,000 sq ft of office space, 109
apartments and a selection of restaurant and retail
units on the ground floor.
The building has been designed by Renzo Piano, and
will provide large open office floors, high
specification fit-out and a new piazza surrounded by restaurants, all within easy walking
distance of Covent Garden and Soho. The location of
the site gives quick access to Tottenham Court Road,
Holborn and Covent Garden tube stations, and is well
connected to the main London Rail Termini,
including the Eurostar services atSt Pancras. Central Saint Giles will deliver major improvements to the public realm of St Giles. In addition to the piazza and new routes through the site, the project will vastly improve pedestrian links between Covent Garden and Bloomsbury, and result in the creation of a new public square at Princes Circus.

WALBROOK SQUARE, CITY OF LONDON
)
The
redevelopment of the Bucklersbury House site in the
City of London will create 875,000 sq ft net of modern office floorspace and 95,000 sq ft net of retail and
restaurant floorspace, with an eclectic mix of
international retailers. Together with world class
architecture, a new public square and reinstated
pedestrian routes through the site, Walbrook Square
will create a great new place to work and do
business in London. The mix of shops, cafes, bars
and restaurants will create a new and vibrant
destination in the heart of the city. The project is
designed by Atelier Foster Nouvel, a uniquecollaboration between Normal Foster and French architect Jean Nouvel.
313-319 OXFORD STREET, LONDON
)
313-319
Oxford Street will deliver a new 21,000 sq ft net
retail unit with a dramatic double height glazed
frontage on the ground floor, set within the
retained existing Oxford Street facade. The new
retail unit will replace the poorly configured
existing store and will help to achieve Westminster
City Council’s objective of enhancing Oxford
Street’s international shopping frontage. The new
building is designed by Squire and Partners, and
will also include 14 one and two bedroom flats.
CROWTHORNE BUSINESS ESTATE, BERKSHIRE
)
The regeneration of a 250 acre brownfield site in Crowthorne, Berkshire
is being promoted by Legal & General Property. The entire
site was previously occupied by the Transport
Research Laboratory before TRL relocated into a new
self-contained headquarters building within the
site, built by LGP. This has left 235 acres
available for redevelopment. LGP’s preference for
the site is to deliver a mixed use scheme with about
975 new homes, a major business park and a range
of community uses including a primary school and over 100 acres of new
public open space. Click
