Art-Invest Real Estate has submitted a planning application to Westminster City Council for the refurbishment of Sackville House in London’s Piccadilly.
The company intends to reposition the Grade II listed property and deliver 30,000 sq ft of Grade A offices with retail space on the ground floor. In addition to undertaking a comprehensive refurbishment of the existing building, Art-Invest plans to extend the property to both the roof and the rear.
Luka Vukotic, head of development and partner at Art-Invest Real Estate, said: “Our proposals for Sackville House will deliver a much needed rejuvenation of this important listed building. By closely consulting with local stakeholders our team has sensitively repositioned the building to significantly improve its workplace offer, sustainability credentials, accessibility and aesthetic as a landmark in London’s Piccadilly.”
Victoria Cooper-Kempski of Buckley Gray Yeoman, which worked up the planning application for the refurbishment, added: “ Buckley Gray Yeoman are delighted to have submitted planning on behalf of Art-Invest for this special building in Mayfair. Sackville House is a beautiful building, steeped in history, and with an exciting future ahead.
“At BGY, our passion lies celebrating the character existing buildings whilst giving then an extra lease of life. At Sackville House, the proposed scheme retains as much of the building’s fabric and heritage as possible whilst delivering an exemplar commercial building for the next generation.”
Art-Invest hopes a decision on its proposals for Sackville House will be made by Westminster City Council in early 2024.
