Art-Invest Real Estate (Art-Invest) has appointed RED Construction Group as lead construction contractor to deliver the redevelopment of the historic Sackville House office building.
The building, which is located on the corner of Sackville Street and Piccadilly in London’s West End, will offer 30,000 sq ft of new Grade A workspace alongside a new roof terrace, amenity space – including a gym and fitness and spin studio – and retail on the ground floor.
Art-Invest successfully secured planning permission for the redevelopment of the Grade II listed building earlier this year and early enabling and strip out works undertaken by Salter Construction are well underway and expected to complete early in the New Year.
RED Construction is expected to make a start on site in Q1 2025 and Art-Invest Real Estate is targeting practical completion of the redevelopment by the end of 2026.
Will Oakes, senior development manager at Art-Invest Real Estate, said: “It is great to have RED Construction Group on board and we look forward to working with the team to continue the progress that has been made on site. Sackville House is a really exciting proposition for the West End office market. The amount and quality of amenity space that is prioritised in the building sets it apart and ensures it is ideally placed to capitalise on increasing demand for Grade A spaces that support a better work life balance, in the best London locations.”
Mark Iori, managing director at RED Construction London, added: “Our appointment to deliver Art-Invest’s iconic Sackville House is testament to RED Construction London’s proven track record working on heritage-rich sites in the heart of the capital. We are known for delivering considered refurbishments across London, and we are pleased to add yet another landmark Grade II listed building to our project portfolio.”
