All 235 apartments at Barts Square have now been sold, reports agent Savills.

Barts Square, situated on a 3.2-acre site in West Smithfield near St Paul's Cathedral, comprises 235 high-quality apartments, three office buildings with a combined space of 254,700 sq ft, and 10 retail, restaurant, and leisure units.

The development was acquired in 2011 through a joint venture between UK-based Helical plc and US-based The Baupost Group LLP, with an official launch in 2014 and Savills as the sole residential agent.

The residential component of Barts Square is spread across nine buildings, each featuring distinct facades and offering views of St Paul's Cathedral, the Old Bailey, and the cloister garth of St Bartholomew the Great Church. The development retains multiple original facades, contributing to its historical character. The project appeals to both local professionals, downsizers with connections to the area, and international buyers.

Maria Eivers, London development director at Savills commented: “The success and appeal of Barts Square is testament to the vision and care taken over the site’s redevelopment by Helical. Barts Square’s aim was to deliver a product that was design led and differentiated itself from the shinning glass towers of the City, creating a contemporary residential development inspired by the vernacular of the area’s 19th century industrial architecture. What we have today has far exceeded this and is a stellar example of successful urban regeneration, with a vibrant new community within this new residential quarter of the City.” 

Nikki Dibley, Senior Development Executive at Helical, added: “We are delighted to have successfully completed all sales at Barts Square. Taking a previously underutilised and largely undiscovered site and working closely with Sheppard Robson as lead architects, with support from Piercy and Co and Maccreanor Lavington, it has been incredibly rewarding to see our plans to revitalise this historic and charming quarter of the City come to life but, more importantly, see it resonate so strongly with people from all corners of the world.”
