W.RE and joint venture partner Taurus UK have appointed Legendre UK to lead the development of a 46,000 sq ft Grade A office scheme at 14-16 Peterborough Road in London’s Parsons Green.
Designed by TateHindle architects, the scheme will feature six floors of flexible office and amenity space and offer accessible roof terraces on the third and fourth floors.
The project will involve the demolition of an existing office block on site, but the new development will retain the existing party walls. W.RE and Taurus are targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating for the scheme.
Legendre UK will act as the main contractor on the scheme and will also be a co-investor. Works are due to start this month (August) and completion is scheduled for Q3 2026.
Andrew Haines, COO of W.RE, said: “This investment will transform a prominent site in Parsons Green, providing much-needed high-quality office space in a sought-after South West London location. Partnering with Legendre UK we will deliver a best-in-class, sustainable building that meets the growing demand for workspace outside of central London’s historic core.”
Nick Jacobs, managing director of Taurus UK, added: “We are really pleased to be committing our investment to great partners to create a relevant and much-needed development.”
Thomas Vandecasteele, managing director of Legendre UK, said: “This appointment builds on Legendre UK’s expertise in delivering complex commercial schemes across London, continuing to strengthen our co-investment strategy alongside key and trusted partners, which we started in 2021 on Dockley Road and continued in 2022 on Sheepcote Road. Acting as both contractor and co-investor demonstrates the added value that Legendre UK can bring.”
Tanguy Guerer, head of pre-construction at Legendre UK, added: “We are delighted at the opportunity to work with W.RE, following a competitive single stage tender. Our proposed value engineering included in our tender were well received by W.RE, allowing us to maximise cost efficiency on the project whilst still ensuring a high-quality outcome.”
Elliott Wood has been appointed as the structural engineer for the development, Exigere is the quantity surveyor and B&CO is the project manager.
