Mace will project manage the seven-storey office scheme designed by Ken Shuttleworth’s practice Make.

Plans for the 58,000 sq ft Portland stone-clad building at the  7-10 Hanover Square site, opposite the planned Bond Street Crossrail station, have just been submitted to Westminster Council.

Two retail/restaurant units will front Hanover Square, to the rear of the property on Princes Street a separate residential building is planned with five dual aspect, two-bedroom apartments and a three-bed duplex penthouse unit.

WSP Group are engineers and EC Harris cost consultants on the job.

Simon Wilkes, head of business space development at Legal & General Property, said: “7-10  Hanover Square provides us with the opportunity to deliver premium quality office space in a prime West End  location, where the market remains constrained in supply.

Existing 1972 office building will be bulldozed

“Moreover, we feel that these carefully developed  plans truly complement Westminster Council’s vision for the area and will help support its elevation to  become one of the pre-eminent business addresses in London following the completion of the Crossrail station directly opposite.”

Cara Bamford, Partner at MAKE Architects, added: “This is the latest in a series of heritage projects for Make and one we are extremely excited about. As a prominent new development in Hanover Square, we  have worked closely with Westminster Council and other stakeholders to ensure the style and scale is suitable to this sensitive location.”
