Unveiling its half year results, the developer said it intended to move forward with several schemes after the company’s busiest period of acquisitions in 15 years.
Chairman David Jenkins said: “We anticipate a full planning consent imminently.
“We are in advanced negotiations for institutional forward-funding of the development, and expect to commence works on site in the second half of 2011.”
The mixed office and retail scheme will be built speculatively as two office buildings, as well as restaurants, cafés and new public realm.
The majority of other new development activity remains focussed on outer London districts like Greenwich, Ilford, Abbey Wood, Hayes, Kensington Church Street and Westminster.
