Designed by GRID Architects, the 341-room hotel development, which is opposite the O2 Academy Brixton, has a total net lettable area of 86,100 sq ft, a 60% uplift from the current floorspace. In addition to the hotel, there will be ground floor office/commercial space and public realm improvements. The refurbishment and extension of the existing eleven-storey building is in line with our sustainable, carbon efficient approach to regeneration. Works are expected to commence in mid-2027 with completion in late 2029.
Paul Williams, Chief Executive of Derwent London, said:
“Securing unanimous approval for this hotel-led conversion in Brixton is an important milestone on our journey to maximise value at Blue Star House. The scheme is well-located in the heart of the community and will support further local regeneration.”
