Real estate investor British Land has received permission to redevelop the landmark Euston Tower building in London’s West End to the reported tune of £600 million.
Under revised plans, the developer will build an office tower spanning 560,000 sq ft and standing 31 storeys tall – down from 36 storeys – at Regent’s Place.
Built in the 1960s, the developer will retain around a third of the building’s original structure, while targeting a BREEAM rating of “Outstanding”.
The plans, which emerged in 2023, also detail 4,000 sq ft of restaurants and cafés, with terraces overlooking a new public realm, as well as 8,000 sq ft of “enterprise space” for start-ups.
British Land is teaming up with Danish architecture practice 3XN GXN, London-based architects Adamson Associates and landscape designer DSDHA.
Regent’s Place is in the Knowledge Quarter, close to renowned academic and research institutions such as UCL and The Francis Crick Institute.
“We are delighted to receive planning consent for this incredible scheme – the first West End tower in a generation, and likely to be the last,” said David Lockyer, head of development at British Land.
Adding: “The tower is ideally located at our Regent’s Place campus, where the Knowledge Quarter meets the West End, and where businesses can benefit from the great concentration of academic and research institutions between Harley Street and King’s Cross.”
