Derwent London - Mixed-Use Development - London

Date: 30 Apr 2008

Derwent London is pleased to today announce the launch of Portobello Dock, its new 70,000 sqft mixed use development which spans both sides of the Grand Union Canal at West London's Ladbroke Grove.

With a legacy as the former home of Virgin Music, the property has undergone significant redevelopment and refurbishment to create a new landmark office, residential and leisure campus which exemplifies Derwent's urban regeneration and design led skills. Stiff + Trevillion Architects worked with Derwent to complement the waterside setting with the development of one new build office building called the Canal Building which offers elegant contemporary design. The completed development is enhanced with externally located artwork specially commissioned from Julian Opie, renowned for his graphic depictions of modern life.

Today's focus will be on the formal launch of the striking new Canal Building, a high specification air conditioned office building which is the only new build on the site.

Savills, Pilcher Hershman and Dutch & Dutch are acting as agents on the commercial elements of the scheme. Aston Chase and Pilcher Hershman acted on the sale of the residential units.
