A major, mixed-use scheme strategically located next to Paddington Station, London’s second busiest transport hub. An important catalyst for the regeneration of the area, the transformative scheme provides a mix of commercial and retail space, together with substantial public realm and station improvements.
Designed by RPBW Architects and owned by Great Western Developments, the 430,000 square feet, 17-storey building, known as Paddington Square, comprises 350,000 sq. ft of Grade-A office space across 14 floors, plus a mix of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.
A new 1.35-acre piazza further enhances the regenerative nature of the scheme, providing a welcoming gateway to Paddington station and greatly enhancing the public realm for the benefit of residents, commuters, workers and tourists.
Station users further benefit from a new underground station entrance, an enlarged ticket hall and step-free access to all station levels.
The development’s retail offering delivers a balanced mix of convenience and luxury brands, whilst Market Halls, set to open across two floors in 2025, will bring a global culinary experience with seven kitchens, two bars, and outdoor seating. A rooftop bar and restaurant on the building’s 17th and 18th floors will provide unparalleled views across London.
McBains has been closely involved in the project throughout; initially providing technical due diligence services before going on to provide project monitoring services during the project’s delivery.
The scheme reached practical completion in September 2024.
Great Western Developments Ltd. is a joint venture between Hotel Properties Limited (“HPL”) and Anchorage View Pte. Ltd. (“AVPL”).
