Holden House scheme on Oxford Street due to complete in 2028

Kier has formally signed up for a £99m scheme to redevelop a grade II-listed building on London’s Oxford Street for Derwent.

The firm beat McLaren and Wates to the Holden House job which involves retaining the facade of the building as part of a 135,000sq ft office and retail scheme designed by architect DSDHA.

Erith has been carrying out demolition and enabling works for the past year with Kier due to move on site soon ahead of completion by the middle of 2028.

Holden House will retain the façade of the building which is directly opposite the Dean Street entrance to Tottenham Court Road Elizabeth line station.

It will extend the property to eight storeys and provide 115,000sq ft of Grade A office accommodation alongside 20,000sq ft of retail space fronting Oxford Street.

The job is Kier’s second for Derwent, having recently completed work on the developer’s Network building on Tottenham Court Road.

Earlier this year, Derwent said it had let the 136,000sq ft Network building to data and AI firm Databricks.
