A virtual briefing will be held on Thursday 19th November at 17:00 to introduce plans for the site at 80 Bond Street (325-329 Oxford Street).

Hines UK is preparing an application to partially redevelop and reposition the existing building at 80 New Bond Street, introducing a new façade, two new additional floors, and reworked interior floorplates that will deliver modern, high-quality office and more efficient retail space.

As part of the redevelopment, Hines will:
- Retain the majority of the existing structure
- Create a new high-quality façade that is more visually appealing whilst making use of the existing structure
- Introduce a two-storey roof extension that will provide new, high-quality office space. The extension will step-back to reduce the impact of the additional massing
- Design a new high-quality office entrance on Dering Street
- Rework the floorplates to provide more efficient retail and office floorplates, maximizing the site’s potential
- Improve the shopfronts to make them more attractive and welcoming
- Deliver a new roof terrace on the 8th floor to act as a breakout space for office tenants
- Introduce a strict operational management plan to limit the impact of the roof terrace of nearby neighbours
- Improve the building’s sustainability credentials by targeting a BREEAM standard of Excellent, with aspirations to achieve Outstanding

Hines is committed to achieving a BREEAM rating of Excellent as a minimum, with aspirations to achieve Outstanding. This will be achieved by:
- Reducing Operational Emissions by 35%
- Reducing water usage by approx. 40%•Diverting 95% of non-hazardous demolition waste away from landfill
- Targeting an Urban Greening Factor of 0.3

Hines is also committed to improving biodiversity in the area, as the site is located along the green corridors identified in the ‘Wild West End’ program. As a result, they are proposing to introduce greening on the 7th floor and roof terraces, increasing biodiversity in the area. The proposed greening will be in-keeping with the Wild West End vision to attract target species in the area.
