The Crown Estate has today confirmed plans to commence the £100m redevelopment of Duke’s Court, a mixed retail and office block on the corner of Duke Street and Jermyn Street in St James’s, W1.
The plans, which have been designed by John McAslan and Partners and will be delivered by Skanska, form part of the Crown Estate’s wider £500m investment programme in St James’s.
The scheme will create 35,000 sq ft of modern office accommodation from the first to sixth floor,and 11,000 sq ft of shops and restaurants at ground and basement levels. As part of the same project, six new flats are proposed at 33 Bury Street, restoring the upper floors of the building to their original residential use.
