Galliford Try has commenced a £27m refurbishment of 68–71 Newman Street in London, marking the start of a significant upgrade to the commercial site.

The scheme will bring together the two buildings spanning 68–71 Newman Street and 9–12 Berners Mews. It is being delivered through the Southern Construction Framework alongside Development Managers, V7.

Plans include a two‑storey extension to increase office floorspace and the full replacement of all façades. A comprehensive Category A fit‑out will create seven floors of modern office accommodation, supported by new Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Heating and fire protection (MEPH) systems, with upgraded plant at roof and basement levels. Upper floors will gain new external terraces, complemented by an additional rooftop terrace to enhance amenity space.

At street level, a new ground‑floor entrance will form a contemporary, welcoming reception area. The basement will feature new cycle parking and improved end‑of‑trip facilities.

Matthew Pool, Managing Director of Galliford Try Building London and South East Commercial, said: "This refurbishment will set a benchmark for creating an efficient, modern and future‑ready workplace. By transforming the building inside and out from the new reception and upgraded facilities to enhanced office floorspace and rooftop amenities, we're delivering a space that supports wellbeing, sustainability and the evolving needs of its occupiers."
