Site visit to 26 Albermarle Street

 

Brilliant...it is slightly milder this morning while I was on route to No.26 Albermarle Street in Mayfair for a site visit. I haven't been on a site visit for about 4 months so this should be interesting.

The company responsible for this unique project is Glebe Asset Management Limited. Glebe is a  dynamic property investment and development company based in London. Although this project is not as large as some of the project team that we have worked with (The Tate Modern being the latest addition), it is not small in ambition!

The £7.5m development will transform 26 Albermarle Street from commercial office use into 5 luxury residential apartments. Eric Parry Architects have been appointed to lead the design and 8Build will deliver the construction. Construction has commenced on site and the project is scheduled for completion in the autumn of 2013.

I cannot believe the size of the penthouse apartment 5000+ Sq.feet of luxury. I think my house can probably fit into this apartment almost 4 times!

Demolition has just started on site and Smart Objectives will deliver the project review workshop later in the month. I will keep you posted
