Overview

20 Gresham Street is a high quality office building located in the City of London, in close proximity to the Guildhall Conservation Area. The development sits next to Guildhall and is near to St Pauls Cathedral. Originally constructed in 2008, the building comprises six storeys of office accommodation.

Through the refurbishment works, 20 Gresham Street will be repositioned as a best in class office environment. A sensitive, but transformative refurbishment to the entrance hall will create a unique arrival experience for building occupiers. This will be achieved through the introduction of new artistic interventions in the form of bespoke sculptural furniture and a pendant sculpture above the reception desk. These will be complemented with the introduction of a new fabric acoustic ceiling, new reception desk and large planted trees and an enhanced lighting scheme. The final intervention to the entrance hall will be the creation of a new feature staircase to provide dedicated access to the new end of trip facilities being introduced into the Basement area. Facilities will include enhanced bicycle storage and maintenance facilities, along with improved shower and changing areas. The new high class end of trip facilities will strategically encourage a work / life hybrid model within an elegant and contemporary environment with bespoke finishes throughout.

The refurbishment works will also include the upgrade of 5852m2 of office area to levels four and five to a high specification CAT A standard, providing a more inviting workspace. This will include the introduction of new metal ceiling rafts, upgraded finishes and enhanced lighting and mechanical services. The WC facilities will also be upgraded with a more contemporary finishes palette throughout.
