35 New Broad Street occupies a prominent corner position at the junction of New Broad Street and Old Broad Street, within the New Broad Street Conservation Area and directly opposite Liverpool Street Station — the UK’s busiest railway station.
The site falls within the Central Activities Zone, where planning policy supports the provision of new office space. It sits at one of the most connected locations in central London, with direct access to the Elizabeth line, Central line, Circle/Hammersmith & City lines, and National Rail services at Liverpool Street.
The building was originally constructed in 1907 as three separate properties. In the 1980s it underwent extensive renovation and remodelling: the historic Portland stone façades were retained, but the internal floors and walls were demolished and replaced, creating the consolidated block that stands today.
The current building comprises five upper floors of office space, together with a lower ground and basement level, and four retail units at street level — totalling over 102,000 sq ft.
The need for change
Despite its prominent location, the current office space does not meet the standards of energy efficiency, sustainability and amenity now required by occupiers.
Deep, constrained floorplates and an outdated core layout that is not adaptable for future occupiers.
The building’s challenges, combined with its exceptional location directly opposite Liverpool Street Station, present a rare opportunity: to deliver one of London’s most significant retrofit projects — transforming 35 New Broad Street into a landmark sustainable building with a vibrant public face on one of the City’s most-used streets.
