British Land is now on site to redevelop an office building in Paddington Central.
Architects Allies and Morrison were selected to update the design of the 146,000 sq ft development on 4 Kingdom Street.
The re-designed nine-storey building will have floorplates of 15,000 sq ft, with each floor having a large corner terrace and a glass pod designed as a creative meeting space. The core of the building has been relocated to maximise space and efficiency, creating more flexible floorplates and greater optionality for occupiers.
The building includes a communal roof terrace which provides outside space for break-out, entertaining and sporting facilities.
Practical completion of the scheme is expected in early 2017.
