Lipton Rogers Developments Lipton Rogers Developments Lipton Rogers Developments Lipton Rogers Developments Lipton and Rogers have built their expertise on identifying and delivering major commercial developments in and around the Central London real estate markets. The principal activity has seen multiple and individual office developments in the City and in the West End, but has also covered a number of projects outside these core markets. This has also included delivering many major mixed use, government, theatre and arts projects, Lipton and Rogers having been at the centre of the renaissance of many of the most prominent theatrical and arts buildings in Central London.

These complexities play to Lipton Rogers’ experience of delivering creative planning, design and engineering solutions in a wide range of locations and building types. Lipton Rogers Developments: Tackle ............................................ Major Challenges Produce ...................................... Creative Solutions Deliver ...................................... Exceptional Results Lipton Rogers Developments Broadgate Lipton Rogers Major Challenges Developments A 33 acre half-disused, heavily bombed railway station at the edge of the City where regeneration plans had failed to progress over the previous 10 years. Building over the existing station and redirecting its old railway lines presented a serious technical challenge. Creative Solutions Large floorplates designed for 1980’s financial boom. Skillfully designed public spaces, including the famous Circle, introduced the concept of after-work relaxation in the City. An attraction all year round with an ice rink in winter and concerts in summer. Exceptional Results The exemplar for large scale urban redevelopment around the world. Set a new standard for quality of space both inside and out. Transformed secondary land into a prime City location, extending the City boundary by almost half a mile. Over 4m sqft delivered in 12 buildings. Lipton Rogers Developments Chiswick Park Lipton Rogers Major Challenges Developments Turning a deserted 33 acre suburban bus station into a major office campus that now competes with the West End as a destination for prominent international occupiers. Creative Solutions The ‘enjoy work’ philosophy is evident in the Richard Rogers-designed offices, their surroundings and services. Green spaces, lakes and elegant architecture enrich the campus environment. Tenants benefit from concierge services to their desk, excellent evening courses and inter- office events. Exceptional Results Consistently voted the best place to work in Europe, it commands rents significantly above the location and is home to CBS, Disney, Discovery, Paramount and Pepsico. 1.8m sqft delivered in 9 buildings. Lipton Rogers Developments HM Treasury Lipton Rogers Major Challenges Developments A Grade I listed building consisting of a labyrinth of small spaces, including the Churchill War Rooms, needed to be transformed into a 21st Century treasury to become one of the most popular buildings in London. Creative Solutions Meticulously restored to create a dynamic environment: ‘keep the best of the old but with a clear view of the future’. Seven miles of walls were removed creating much needed light and space. Abandoned light wells were transformed into expansive atriums for communal space. Exceptional Results A 1.2m sqft landmark development. Completed ahead of schedule, the result set a new standard for private/ public sector development. The National Audit Office declared the development a financial success. Open, transparent floors immediately introduced new energy and activity to the Treasury. Lipton Rogers Developments Stockley Park Lipton Rogers Major Challenges Developments A 400 acre, contaminated wasteland close to Heathrow airport. Four million cubic metres of landfill needed to be removed in one year. Creative Solutions UK’s first US-style business park with a campus atmosphere and 2m sqft net of modern office spaces in 20 buildings surrounded by acclaimed greenery, lakes, wildlife and a golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones. A communal space known as ‘The Arena’ offers shops, restaurants and a swimming pool. Exceptional Results Despite being located many miles from the centre of London, Stockley Park has enjoyed a continuous stream of big-name tenants since it opened, including Apple, BT, Canon, IBM, GSK and M&S. 2m sqft in 20 buildings. Lipton Rogers Developments National Gallery Major Challenges Destroyed in the 1940s by a bomb and sitting alongside one of the city’s most beloved galleries. Galleries are complex buildings – paintings need to be lit, protected and maintained without detracting from the viewer’s enjoyment. Creative Solutions A new gallery wing was crafted to house a core exhibition of particularly sensitive Renaissance paintings. The modern exterior is elegant and subtle, complementing the original 1830’s gallery and connecting it to Trafalgar Square. Exceptional Results The Sainsbury Wing combines functional efficiency, a modern appeal and, crucially in the face of such a famous site, subtlety. It has attracted millions of visitors since its opening in 1991. Lipton Rogers Developments Royal Opera House Lipton Rogers Major Challenges Developments The challenge was to redevelop

It provided for the merger in the following year of the Margarine Union and Lever Brothers Limited. The Margarine Union had been formed in 1927 by the Van den Bergh and Jurgens companies based in the Netherlands, and was later joined by a number of other Dutch and central European companies. Its main strength lay in Europe, especially Germany and the UK and its interests, whilst mostly in margarine and other edible fats, were also oil milling and animal feeds, retail companies and some soap production. Lever Brothers Limited was based in the UK but owned companies throughout the world, especially in Europe, the United States and the British Dominions. Its interests were in soap, toilet preparations, food (including some margarine), oil milling and animal feeds, plantations and African trading. One of the main reasons for the merger was competition for raw materials - animal and vegetable oils - used in both the manufacture of margarine and soap. However, the two businesses were very similar, so it made sense to merge as Unilever rather than continue to compete for the same raw materials and in the same markets. To understand how Unilever came into being you have to go back to the family companies that were instrumental in its formation.

  • Euroroc London Walking Tour with Peter Harrison
    Euroroc London Walking Tour with Peter Harrison Introduction Walking around the streets, from St Pauls thorough to Paternoster and on to the Guildhall, few people look up or down at the buildings and pavements or notice the history around them. The tour will start at Temple Bar, proceed through Paternoster and out via Panyer Alley. We will then turn right into Cheapside and left into Foster Lane. We turn right into Gresham Street and then through Guildhall Yard to look at the Library. We will look at some important and interesting buildings, pavements and monuments. Because there was never any satisfactory building stone local to London, buildings, pavements and monuments are constructed using a variety of interesting stone brought by sea and river, rail and road. The stone used ranges from sedimentary rock, often from the tropical sea floor 140 million years old, through to metamorphic and igneous rock some 500 million years old. Many of the buildings in the area are faced with Portland stone, although sandstone, granite and slate are also present. This tour will include: St Paul’s Cathedral Temple Bar The Column, Paternoster Square King Edward Court, 10 Paternoster Square Cheapside Goldsmith Hall 25 Gresham Street 10 Gresham Street 20 Gresham Street 31 Gresham Street 100 Wood Street 30 Gresham Street 65 Gresham Street Guildhall Yard The Guildhall St Pauls Cathedral Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St Pauls Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710 using Portland stone. Portland stone had been used in London for the Tower of London in 1349 and London Bridge in 1350.

  • Bow Bells House” Office and Retail Shopping Complex in the City of London Completion Ceremony on March 6
    March 5, 2008 Press Release Team Mitsubishi Corporation Mitsubishi Estates Practical Completion of “Bow Bells House” Office and Retail Shopping Complex in the City of London Completion Ceremony on March 6 We are pleased to announce that the completion ceremony of the “Bow Bells House Redevelopment Project”, which is a joint project between Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Mitsubishi Estates in the City of London, UK, will be held on March 6. This project is the redevelopment of land and real estate previously owned by MC into a new office and retail shopping complex. It is a superb location, with excellent access to transportation. Facing onto Cheapside, the main street connecting Bank Station in the City’s center, and St. Paul’s Station, the new complex also stands adjacent to St. Mary Le-Bow Church, an historical landmark. The office space in the complex is already fully occupied by major European financials the Bank of Ireland and Landsbanki, while cafes, restaurants and other shops are scheduled to move into the retail space in the near future. MC’s global real estate investment business has until now mainly been in the US. Leveraging on the successful completion of this complex, however, MC is planning to expand this business throughout the UK and Continental Europe. Meanwhile, this is Mitsubishi Estates’ first redevelopment project in London since the completion of the Paternoster Square Project in 2003. The company is now developing another new project, “Central Saint Giles”, which should be finished by the end of 2009. From hereon Mitsubishi Estates will continue to actively promote real estate development in London, putting to use its diverse experience and know-how.

  • Geology in St Paul's Churchyard and Paternoster Square Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 12 Geology in St Paul’s Churchyard and Paternoster Square Ruth Siddall Looking From Newgate Street across Paternoster Square to the Temple Bar and St Paul’s Cathedral. This walk starts at St Paul’s Underground station, and takes in a circuit around the Cathedral via Paternoster Square and St Paul’s Churchyard and back to the tube station via the west end of Cheapside. This area has seen a large amount of redevelopment since Eric Robinson wrote his guides to street geology in this part of the city of London (Robinson, 1984 & 1997; Robinson & Bishop, 1980), including the relocation of two of the City’s monuments into the vicinity. Culturally and archaeologically this is one of the oldest, continuously occupied parts of the City of London, particularly as a religious centre. It was part of the Roman city of Londinium, with the Lud Gate in place in the earliest 3rd Century AD. This Roman gate house survived until 1760 when it was demolished. The first St Paul’s Cathedral was constructed in 604 AD by the Bishop of London, Mellitus. This was replaced (with probable intervening buildings) in 1087 with a new Romanesque cathedral built by Bishop Maurice. In the 13th Century a crypt (still in tact under the current cathedral) and a choir were added, and a cloister and chapter house were added in the 14th Century. In the mid 17th Century, the architect Inigo Jones was surveyor of the fabric and added classical details to the Cathedral. He was succeeded by Sir Christopher Wren who proposed major refurbishments due to have taken place in 1666.
