P-Three lands Kensington Roof Gardens role

Newly formed agency P-Three has been appointed by CKL to find a new food and beverage brand to take over the Kensington Roof Gardens. The recently revamped 14,511 sq ft space covers two floors and has a 0.6-acre garden. The trio at P-Three will team up with their former employer, Cushman & Wakefield, to source a new occupier. Part of CKL’s wider Kensington Estate, which includes the former Derry & Toms and Barkers department store, Kensington Roof Gardens was occupied by Virgin until last year, when the firm decided to close its operations at the Grade II*  listed site, known for its flamingos and lavish receptions. Thomas Rose, co-founder of P-Three, said: “Following investment by CKL that has rejuvenated and modernised the space, we are delighted to be bringing Kensington Roof Gardens to the market.  “The character, heritage and location of the space make it perfect for a high-quality operator to create something unique. With the gardens as an integrated element of the overall experience, this is without doubt one of the best opportunities in Europe for a leisure operator.” To send feedback, e-mail louise.dransfield@egi.co.uk or tweet @DransfieldL or @estatesgazette
