Planning permission was obtained in September 2016 for the construction of a new 300,000 sq ft mixed-use development. The scheme is office led with eight floors of prime Soho working space with large garden terraces dedicated to every floor. Level eight of the property is the new headquarters for Soho Estates. A large portion of the site comprises new public realm space with a new café and restaurant-lined mews linking Manette Street to Greek Street. This mews, known as James Court, provides al fresco dining and a focal point for visitors to dwell on this busy route into Soho. Australian cafe and restaurant Milk Beach, Mediterranean restaurant, Kapara, and Italian restaurant, Daroco, currently operate at James Court. The development also includes three levels of extensive underground creative office and post-production space. Warner Bros. De Lane Lea has occupied 30,000 square feet of this space for their European post-production facility. Additionally, Ilona Rose House now hosts office tenants such as Dawn Capital, Skyscanner, and Planet Payments.
Basement level one houses Until, the pioneering Medical and Wellbeing facility, with the club space and principal entrance fronting the busy Charing Cross Road side of the building. On the Soho side of the development, 14 Greek Street, a Grade II listed building, has been protected and carefully restored, trading as Soho Revue, a bespoke-designed Art and Photography gallery dedicated to showing the work of up-and-coming artists in the proud tradition of the Soho area (see separate listing). Next door, at 12-13 Greek Street, the façade of the building has been retained, and eight affordable housing flats have been constructed behind it, as well as The Little Scarlet Door, a cocktail bar with outdoor seating.
Cantillon Ltd was awarded the demolition and excavation contract, and work began on site in March 2017. Sir Robert McAlpine was appointed as Construction Manager and started work on-site in May 2019. The project was completed on 24th May 2021. Fit-out and public realm works commenced in earnest from June 2021, with the full building now completed and operational.
