Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands鈥� scheme will redevelop a run of buildings into retail and office space

LDS Oxford Street 2

Westminster City Council has approved plans for the redevelopment of a run of buildings fronting Oxford Street that will feature close to 9,000 q m of retail and office space.

Architect Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands鈥� scheme for Daejan Investments covers a block between Wardour Street and Berwick street and will preserve parts of a grade II-listed building on the site. The fa莽ade of another locally-listed structure 鈥� Berwick House 鈥� will be jacked up by 1.2m to 鈥渁ssimilate levels through the site鈥�, LDS said. The grade II-listed Ilford House is aso part of the job.

Campaign group the Victorian Society objected to the scheme, which will be up to six storeys in height, because of its impact on the listed buildings and the 鈥渦njustified鈥� loss of other buildings on the site.

JLL is planning consultant and project manager for the scheme, structural engineer is Heyne Tillett,  Hilson Moran is steel services engineer.
