Working once more with Main Contractor, Mclaren Construction Group on behalf of developer Cadogan Estates, Derry Ltd have completed the Stage 4/5 MEP Design to 51-52 Sloane Street in Chelsea and focus has now moved to the imminent commencement of installation works on site.
Formerly home to the Peruvian Embassy, the redevelopment of 51-52 Sloane Street, originally two Victorian Townhouses, will involve numerous modifications structurally and externally.
The existing exquisitely detailed carved brickwork facade will be restored and retained along with the iconic barley twist chimneys, whilst internally, the building space will be remodeled to provide exceptional office, restaurant and retail space.
The project also includes the demolition of a rear extension at number 52 to make way for a new conservatory, the establishment of an electrical substation, and several other external alterations.
Derry Ltd will be installing full mechanical, public health and electrical services to the Shell & Core areas of the project whilst details of the future fit out design are finalised.
Sloane Street is part of The Cadogan Estate which has been in the same family ownership for almost 300 years and spans 93 acres of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Sloane Street was developed by Henry Holland for the 1st Earl Cadogan (1728-1807). Charles ‘Sloane’ 1st Earl Cadogan sold the development lease to Henry Holland in 1777. Sloane Street – which stretches 1km from Sloane Square in the south to Knightsbridge in the north – today is home to the world’s leading fashion houses, attracting a truly global clientele. The street continues to evolve and in 2013 welcomed the first UK stand-alone boutique for Tom Ford.
