Southwark Council has approved plans for a new state-of-the-art office building close to Borough Market.

South London developer Tailored Living Solutions will be building a brand-new 7-storey 20,000 sq ft office building at 17-21 Risborough Street in London SE1.

The new £20m building was designed by local practice TDO Architecture and is in line with its surroundings, whilst delivering a modern office workspace that will evolve and adapt to future trends and needs.

The building will look to achieve top-rated green credentials and will feature a spectacular communal roof terrace.

At least 10% of the building will be offered as an affordable workspace at a discounted market rent for a minimum of 30 years. Situated on the ground floor will be 52 cycle spaces.

Tailored Living Solutions acquired the building in August 2021 through Henshall & Partners before submitting proposals to the Council following an extensive consultation programme with the community.

Josh Chadd, Founder & Managing Director at Tailored Living Solutions, commented: “The scheme that we will deliver on Risborough Street will be designed to foster an enjoyable space to work, where employees will feel comfortable and inspired. Now that we have achieved planning we will begin the process of taking the building through sustainable accreditations, such as BREEAM and WELL, that will allow us to deliver healthy, sustainable and versatile spaces that are flexible to accommodate a broad range of businesses.”

17-21 Risborough Street will be the latest major office development delivered by Tailored Living Solutions following the recent launch of Great Suffolk Yard, which is nearby. The flagship office development is part new-build and part sensitive restoration of an eclectic assortment of 19th Century warehouse style buildings that provide c.70,000 sq. ft. of Grade A commercial space that is targeted BREEAM Excellent and WELL Gold Cerified.
