AHMM lodges new Oxford Street plans

The retained frontages of 29-39 Oxford Street, under AHMM's plans, and the new frontage of 41-43

Proposals retain Edwardian facades but demolish most of the rest of buildings

AHMM has drawn up proposals to redevelop an eight-building run on London’s Oxford Street with a scheme behind that extends as far south as Soho Square.

Its vision, for King Sloane Properties and Element Capital, would deliver a new eight-storey building with two basements and a roof pavilion at the Soho Square end. It would boost the quantity of floorspace by 65% to give a gross internal area of 12,192sq m. The lower floors of the new structure would be for retail use, while its upper storeys – save for its plant space and roof terrace, would be for office use.

AHMM, which is behind the nearby Soho Place development, is proposing to retain the facades of five early 20th-century shops between 29 and 39 Oxford Street – and a more substantial part of No 35, which is grade II-listed and was built in 1909 to a design by Gilbert and Constanduros.
