16 Great Marlborough Street sits between Soho and Regent Street’s conservation areas, surrounded by historic landmarks like The London Palladium and Liberty. Originally built in the 1990s, the building had endured decades of semi-industrial use and was showing its age.
In 2019, we pre-let the entire building to global drinks company Diageo, who were looking for a flexible, inclusive, and sustainable European HQ for their 900-strong workforce. Their ambition was to create a net zero operational building, requiring a holistic approach to carbon reduction—from construction to long-term performance.
