Shell and Lend Lease Revise South Bank Plans

LONDON-Oil giant Shell International and its development partner Lend Lease have revised their plans for the regeneration of the Shell Centre on London's South Bank. The retail content has been cut in favour of more offices.

LONDON-Shell International and Lend Lease have revised their plans for the regeneration of the Shell Centre on the South Bank. The new application to the London Borough of Lambeth envisages a mixed-use quarter of offices, shops, restaurants, cafes, leisure facilities and civic space.

The project will consist of 345,000 sf of office space; 79,000 sf of retail; 43,000 sf of catering space; 120,000 sf of sports facilities and 51,000 sf of conference/meeting room space. Subject to planning permission, the new scheme – to be called Belvedere Court – could be completed by 2004.

The area around the Shell Centre – headquarters of the oil company since 1963 – has been transformed since the Eurotunnel terminal opened at Waterloo station to the south of the site and the London Eye attraction opened just to the north. Reflecting this, Shell had originally planned more retail to captalise on increased pedestrian flows. But the revised scheme, drawn up in consultation with Lambeth, has cut the retail content in favour of more offices.
