Known as Southbank Place, the full scheme will see most of the site’s existing structures demolished to make way for eight new buildings centred around the existing 1960s Shell Centre Tower.
The development by Braeburn Estates, a joint venture between Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar, is set to provide more than 800 homes, around 530,000 square feet of office space and 48,000 square feet of retail units, restaurants and cafes.
Our appointment related to two office buildings. The first commercial building, One Southbank Place, provides 272,450 square feet of additional office and trading floors for Shell, plus retail accommodation at ground floor level.
Two Southbank Place provides 299,877 square feet of net lettable area over 16 floors of office accommodation, plus retail space on the ground floor. The existing Shell Centre Tower and the two new office buildings will be connected via a covered pedestrian walkway.
