Art-Invest Real Estate has been granted planning approval by Westminster City Council to redevelop Sackville House, Piccadilly.

The approval enables Art-Invest to redevelop the office building, delivering 30,000 sq ft of new Grade A workspace alongside a new roof terrace, amenity space and a retail offer across the ground floor.

Luka Vukotic, Head of Development and Partner, Art-Invest Real Estate, said: “We are delighted to receive planning approval for our proposals to preserve and enhance Sackville House, an outstanding Grade II listed building. To sensitively reposition and relaunch the building we wanted to focus on retaining and drawing on its historical significance, whilst achieving the highest ESG credentials and reconsidering the workspace to amenity space ratio. In doing so we’ve created a unique offer in the West End and set a new standard for what occupiers can expect from a workspace of this size.”

Sackville House is a Grade II listed building, located on the corner of Sackville Street and Piccadilly, the development will comprise seven floors of workspace and an outdoor pavilion on the roof terrace. The lower ground floor, which includes some repurposed original bank vaults, will feature a gym, fitness and spin studio, cycle storage and changing facilities.

It is anticipated that Art-Invest will start on site later this year.
