Work starts at Dukes Court, a mixed retail and office block on the corner of Duke Street St James’s and Jermyn Street, in St James's.
James Cooksey, Director of Central London at The Crown Estate said: “We’re committed to re-establishing St James’s as world-class business and lifestyle destination. Such an investment reflects our belief in the fundamentals of London’s West End, notwithstanding the near term market outlook, and its continued performance over the long term through creating fantastic buildings that stand the test of time.”
Steve Holbrook, Managing Director of Skanska, commented: “We’re delighted to have secured this mixed-use development in London. We have worked closely with members of The Crown Estate’s delivery team to develop a cost-effective solution and look forward to working with The Crown Estate. This is our third contract win in the West End this year.”
Duke’s Court is expected to complete in spring 2019.
