Abu Dhabi Royals Get Approval for Vast London West End Office

Westminster City Council has approved plans by a company ultimately overseen by Abu Dhabi’s ruling Al Nahyan family for one of the largest office projects ever built in London’s West End.

Berkeley Estate Asset Management got permission to overhaul the former flagship BHS store and adjoining London College of Fashion building on Oxford Street at a meeting Tuesday. The plans, designed by architect KPF, propose about 800,000 square feet (74,322 square meters) of office space and more than 100,000 square feet of stores at 33 Cavendish Square.
