News Archive - July/August 2009Café Royal Next Up on Quadrant SchemeWORK BEGINS this month on the redevelopment of Quadrant 1, the former Café Royal block at the lower end of London’s Regent Street. The five star boutique hotel will comprise 160 luxury bedrooms, spa facilities, health club with pool, business centre and prime retail space at ground level. In 2008 Israeli hotel group Alrov, secured a Building Agreement with The Crown Estate, which owns Regent Street in its entirety. Alrov will be granted a 125-year lease on completion of the hotel in March 2012. Quadrant 1 forms part of the The Crown Estate’s Quadrant masterplan, central to the £750m redevelopment of Regent Street, underway since 2002. The masterplan also includes the now completed mixed use building at One Vine Street, the completed public realm improvements to Swallow Street and the redevelopment of Quadrant 3, the former Regent Palace Hotel block, which is now on site. Quadrant 3 will deliver 200,000 sq ft of offices, some 14 shops, two restaurants and nine apartments. It will complete early in 2012. Together Quadrant 1 and 3 will improve and revive a one million sq ft built area and create a 44,000sq ft public realm area, including the introduction of a large new traffic free area just of Piccadilly Circus on Glasshouse Street and Sherwood Street. This will represent one of the most significant improvements to the London’s public realm seen in the West End over the last 30 years. Mace Group has been awarded the £70m construction management contract for the Quadrant 1 scheme, which is formed from three existing buildings formally known as the Café Royal, Oddeninos Hotel and County Mark building. The public rooms of the Café Royal, which include the Grill Room, are all Grade I listed and will be preserved under the development. « |
