Osborne Appointed By Duchy of Lancaster

Osborne has been awarded the contract for the major refurbishment of an original 1920s building at 105-109 Strand for the Duchy of Lancaster.

The multi-million redevelopment scheme will deliver extensive works to the main building and rear wing, including the adaptation of two new storeys to the front of the property, three to the rear and the introduction of two large terraces.

The project started on site in February 2019 and is scheduled to complete by Autumn 2020. Once finished, the refurbished building scheme will provide first-class office accommodation, restaurant and retail space in the heart of the Duchy’s historic Savoy estate.

Graeme Chalk, Head of Project Management for the Duchy of Lancaster, said: “This is a tremendously exciting project which has the support and backing of Westminster City Council and the Duchy Council. The net result will be a new signature building on the Strand which will complement our existing commercial property portfolio. We look forward to working with Osborne and the rest of the project team to deliver the completed project by Autumn of 2020.”

Dan Richards, Project Manager, said: “Having originally joined Osborne as a Graduate Trainee, I’m very much looking forward to managing this fantastic opportunity and deliver this exciting project for the Duchy of Lancaster. Our values and aspirations are closely shared and I’m confident that the completed project will leave a lasting legacy for the Duchy, the Strand and the historic Savoy Estate.”
