Crossrail and development partner Grosvenor have been granted planning permission for a six-storey office scheme above Bond Street station.

Westminster planners have approved the scheme at 65 Davies Street in Mayfair where 65,000 sq ft of space will be built above the western ticket hall for Crossrail’s new Bond Street station.

The contemporary office scheme has been designed by PLP Architecture and incorporates a ventilation shaft that will be constructed as part of the western ticket hall works.

Grosvenor will be responsible for delivering the scheme once the Crossrail station and ticket hall are completed in 2017.

Ian Morrison, London Estate Development Director, Grosvenor said: “Westminster City Council’s decision to award 65 Davies Street planning approval is a significant milestone for Grosvenor’s 160,000 square foot office development pipeline in North Mayfair and reflects our commitment to the continual evolution of the area, where both classic and contemporary buildings sit side by side.

“We’re working closely with Crossrail’s team and PLP Architecture to deliver a striking new building that complements and enhances the urban form of North Mayfair and responds to the demand for office space with excellent design and sustainability credentials in this part of the capital.”

Ian Lindsay, Crossrail’s Land and Property Director said: “Sites above Crossrail stations, including Bond Street, are being developed alongside major improvements to the surrounding public space.

“This will ensure we maximise the huge redevelopment opportunities Crossrail is bringing to all those who work, live in or visit London.”
