Developer Great Portland Estates is planning a major refurbishment of a prime Soho building after acquiring 141 Wardour Street for £39m.

The 33,717 sq ft building is currently vacant and has been stripped and has planning consent for a comprehensive refurbishment.

GPE said: “The consented scheme will provide best-in-class office and restaurant accommodation arranged over lower ground, ground and six upper floors, with private terraces across the 4th to 6th floors and a communal roof terrace.

“Following our substantial refurbishment, the building will provide outstanding Fully Managed office space designed to meet evolving customer demands and GPE’s net zero carbon commitments.”

Alexa Baden-Powell, Senior Investment Manager, said: “141 Wardour Street is a fantastic opportunity to reposition an attractive Art Deco building in a core West End location into best-in-class Fully Managed space with excellent sustainability credentials.”
