Plans have been approved for a office building refurbishment project in Farringdon, London.

Workspace Group will develop a new five-storey building at 12-13 and 14 Greville Street, providing 23,000 sq ft of new space alongside the existing 15,000 sq ft currently spread across two three-storey office buildings. The project is estimated to cost £9 million.


Elsewhere, Workspace has also secured planning consent to build additional space at The Biscuit Factory in Bermondsey. The scheme involves developing for 27,000 sq ft of additional commercial space to create a new café and reception, providing a new heart for the enlarged 275,000 sq ft Biscuit Factory business centre. The refurbishment is expected to cost £10m.

Jamie Hopkins, Chief Executive of Workspace, said: "It is great to see these planning consents being granted. The refurbishment projects at Greville Street and The Biscuit Factory will add to our extensive pipeline of activity and allow us to continue to upgrade our properties and further extend our footprint to meet the strong demand for space."
