Squire & Partners – 78 St James’s Street, London

Squire & Partners completed the sensitive refurbishment and extension of 78 St James’s Street for BentallGreenOak in 2022.  

Situated in the heart of Westminster, the former members’ club and subsequent private HQ building has been transformed into 100,000 sq ft of prime multi-tenant workspace, with 10,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art amenities, wellness facilities and rooftop terrace.  

The existing building comprises two elements: a Grade II* listed Victorian structure built in the 1840s, and a rear building added as part of a redevelopment to provide modern workspace for a single tenant, undertaken by Squire & Partners in 2001.  

Twenty years after this initial intervention, BentallGreenOak approached Squire & Partners with the brief to transform the building into a highly collaborative, clubhouse-style working environment with a variety of spaces that can be used twenty- four hours a day to support modern working patterns.
