Renovation of former BBC offices into luxury apartment block and houses.

Martin Miller Associate Director "I found W1 to be a highly practical and forward thinking client with whom we were able to form an excellent partnership."

The opportunity

The site was previously used by the BBC as administrative offices and radio studios from the 1930s until 2010. The vacated site provided an opportunity to create a residential development in the neighbourhood of Marylebone. The new development consists of 18 apartments, a penthouse suite, 5 modern townhouses, and associated basement and plant works.

The challenge

The project involved numerous challenges typical of inner-city developments. The site was bound on each side by neighbouring properties which were subject to party wall agreements and close monitoring of movement. The project underwent changes in design to enhance the product being delivered.

The outcome

The project was completed to time and within budget, Total Project Integration played a key role in agreeing the programme and commercial terms with the contractor while maintaining quality standards. A pre-completion deal was agreed to protect the client’s commercial interests.

“Total Project Integration and specifically our team, David, Brendan, Martin and Liam, have actively listened and pro-actively responded and contributed to keep the project to it’s brief both in terms of quality and cost throughout the programme. This has been a significant factor in our confidence in the successful delivery of the project.”
