Hoi Hup Realty gets greenlight for London site redevelopment

The site is a major office-led regeneration of a 1.4-acre island site comprising three buildings.

Singaporean firm Hoi Hup Realty has been granted the go-ahead by the City of London Corporation for the redevelopment of  ‘High Holborn’, a major office-led regeneration of a 1.4-acre island site comprising three buildings at 322 High Holborn, Holborn Gate and 44 Southampton Buildings.

The transformational scheme is at a location adjacent to Chancery Lane underground station and within five minutes of Farringdon Station and the Elizabeth Line.

The newly consented scheme will deliver over 370,000 sq ft of new Grade A workspace. Designed for modern occupiers, the building will also include a new cultural venue, the ‘Holborn Dome’, a public pocket park at Southampton Buildings, and enhanced ground-floor amenity and permeability. The development is targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC ‘A’, utilising smart systems and low-carbon materials throughout. Terraces, wellness spaces, and flexible floorplates respond directly to the evolving needs of global occupiers and their workforce.

Hoi Hup spent four years assembling the site through a series of strategic acquisitions, totalling  250,000 sq ft of underperforming office space.

The High Holborn project has been spearheaded by international construction and property consultancy Gleeds, serving as Development Lead, working alongside Make Architects, Savills as leasing advisors, and Newmark as planning consultants.
