Howard de Walden prescribes more space to two medical occupiers

The Howard de Walden Estate has completed two new lettings to Moorfields Private Eye Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust Private Care in Marylebone. Moorfields, which forms part of the private division of Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, will take space at 60 Wimpole Street, W1. The former London Claremont Clinic will be adding to the space it already occupies on the estate at 50-52 New Cavendish Street, W1. Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust Private Care will be adding 4,261 sq ft of space to its clinic at 79 Wimpole Street, W1 , next to Royal Brompton’s facility at 77 Wimpole Street, W1, also part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust Private Care. Combined, the two clinics cover around 15,500 sq ft of space. Andrew Robertson, director of private care at Moorfields Eye Hospital, said that the medical facility “is world-renowned as a centre of excellence for ophthalmic care” and that the hospital was glad to extend its offering in “the heart of London’s clinical district”. He added: “This fully refurbished building, with its laser eye surgery suite, operating theatre and consulting rooms, provides patients with more choice when accessing private services and treatments.” The building recently underwent extensive renovation by the estate, which worked with Sonnemann Toon Architects to deliver a contemporary, self-contained medical building. The site now offers a new lift and full level access, updated mechanical and electrical systems, plus diagnostics suites and consulting rooms. Richard North, head of commercial lettings at the Howard de Walden Estate, said: “The past year has been particularly busy across our medical portfolio, as we continue to meet evolving occupier demand and work closely with tenants to ensure our buildings meet the highest quality standards that the Harley Street Medical Area is renowned for. “These two new significant signings attest to the prestigious reputation the area and Howard de Walden has in maintaining and developing historical properties to an expert medical standard. We are delighted that the Moorfields Private Eye Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ have committed to further space within the Harley Street Medical Area.” [caption id="attachment_1154152" align="aligncenter" width="847"] 60 Wimpole Street, W1[/caption] To send feedback, e-mail chante.bohitige@eg.co.uk or tweet @bohitige or @EGPropertyNews See which agents are doing the most deals in the London submarkets with our On-Demand Rankings >> Photo courtesy of Powerscourt
