GPE secures major development pre-let at 30 Duke Street St James’s

GPE have announced that they have successfully pre-let the entire office space at 30 Duke Street St James’s to global investment firm, CD&R. We are pleased to provide full cost management services on this development project.

30 Duke Street St James’s will deliver brand-new premium HQ space featuring expansive column-free office floorplates, over basement to level seven, with 3,700 sq ft of roof terraces on the upper levels. Designed by Make Architects, the landmark building represents a new benchmark for sustainable design, premium amenities, and architectural excellence.

The development embraces the principles of the circular economy with 78% of the steel frame sourced from recovered steel, largely from GPE’s own deconstructed building at City Place House, believed to be the largest steel reuse scheme in the UK, saving 90% of carbon emissions compared to using exclusively new steel.

Practical completion is scheduled for summer 2026, with the building being delivered to a shell and floor specification, allowing CD&R to commence their fit-out.
