When The Times set out to find the five most luxurious offices in the world in February 2026, 23 Savile Row made the list. Read the full feature here. Lazari manages 3 million sq ft of real estate across eight London estates, with 500 occupiers. That scale does not happen by chance. It comes from knowing what a building can be, and having the conviction to get there.
The office has to earn attendance
Hybrid working has changed the calculation for occupiers and landlords alike. Attendance is no longer automatic, and the best businesses know it. The office must offer something genuinely compelling, something that a kitchen table or a coffee shop cannot match.
The buildings rising to that challenge share a common logic. They are designed around experience, not just efficiency. They treat amenities as essentials. They bring in art, culture and hospitality in ways that give occupiers a reason to be there. And they are built to last, with sustainability credentials that reflect long-term thinking rather than short-term compliance. At 23 Savile Row, a Hauser & Wirth gallery at ground floor and a rooftop terrace with unrivalled views across Mayfair are not afterthoughts. They are the point.
What that looks like in practice
At Maple House on Tottenham Court Road, an urban forest sits at first-floor level. Ninety-two mature trees, reaching up to eight metres in height, were planted above a former car park in Sir Richard Seifert’s original 1970s building. It is a feat of structural engineering delivered by Studio ONB and the Landscape Partnership. UCL and Xeinadin, who expanded to a second floor just eight months after moving in, are among those who have made it their home.
The same capability runs across the portfolio. Lazari’s turnkey approach means occupiers can hand over a brief and receive a fully fitted, specification-built headquarters in return. Diageo chose 16 Great Marlborough Street for its European headquarters because it could be developed to net-zero carbon in a way that met every one of their specific needs. At Henrietta House, CBRE was an existing occupier when Lazari redeveloped the building to WELL Platinum standard around them. They stayed, and expanded by 50,000 sq ft.
Active management, not passive ownership
The easy choice at 23 Savile Row would have been to leave it as it was. The building that exists today, with MoreySmith’s redesigned atrium and reception, a Hera bar centred on a double-curved Arabescato marble top and Best Office Interior at the International Property Awards 2025, was a deliberate decision to invest in what the building could become. The building has its own bespoke fragrance connected to the airflow system. Reception staff are dressed in cashmere-blend suits. As Linda Morey-Burrows, founder of MoreySmith, has said: “It’s not one single item or element that makes an office luxurious, it’s the attention to detail and the volume.”
Nicholas Lazari, Director of Lazari Investments, said: “We treat every project as an innovative and exploratory, experience, specific to the building and to our occupiers’ needs. We invest our own capital, time, energy and soul into every scheme, large or small, to create workplaces that genuinely stand out. The quality of the spaces we create determines the quality of the occupiers we attract and the relationships we build with them. That is as true at 23 Savile Row as it is on New Bond Street.”
What Lazari builds next
The Lazari Building on New Bond Street and Brook Street, formerly the Fenwick department store, is designed by Foster and Partners. As Norman Foster has said of the project: “The rich history and tradition of New Bond Street is reinforced through a revitalised street front, and the design breathes new life into the upper levels by introducing state-of-the-art office space.” The entire 115,000 sq ft of office space was pre-let to US law firm McDermott Will and Emery on a 15-year lease before construction completed. It is the same conviction, applied to one of London’s most storied addresses.
