Battersea Power Station office development details revealed
BATTERSEA Power Station’s Boiler House will be transformed into 450,000 square feet of offices set around a 26-metre-high atrium for businesses to “create networks and broker deals”, according to new details revealed yesterday.
The building’s owners, which have launched the office phase of the development, unveiled the first images of the interiors, which are being designed by The Rockwell Group and Wilkinson Eyre.
A total of 1.25m sq ft of net office space is being built across the iconic 42-acre site to be complemented by with shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, hotels, a 2,000 capacity event space and a six acre park.
A third of that office space will be inside the power station on the upper six floors of the former central boiler house.
Rob Tincknell, chief executive of the Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “For over 50 years the power station was an engine room of London and we have designed its upper floors to be a power house of the future with state-of-the-art work and shared spaces to fuel imaginations.”
The Northern Line tube extension, opening in 2020 with a new station located 200m from the Power Station, could enable travel to the City in around 15 minutes.
