Investing in a new global retail, leisure, and wellness destination for Mayfair
Royal London Asset Management has a plan to invest in and renew the Lancashire Court Estate to create a new global retail, leisure, and wellness destination in the heart of Mayfair.
With challenges facing retail it is not hard to see that without significant investment Lancashire Court could fall back. The ambition is to maintain and enhance the vibrant character of the area by curating a mix of uses including upgraded and enhanced retail units, a new wellness centre, a hotel, restaurant spaces and significantly improved public realm.
The Lancashire Court Estate is made up of a collection of buildings around New Bond Street, Brook Street, Avery Row and Lancashire Court. The once-in-a-lifetime plans take a long term and holistic view of the whole site, ensuring its viability and success for generations to come.
