Just round the corner from the newly redeveloped Tottenham Court Road station sits Ilona Rose House. The 300,000 sq. ft mixed-use development aims to anchor the film and creative industries in Soho.
Project info
Michael J Lonsdale was brought on by Sir Robert McAlpine to provide a £14.5m shell & core package that achieved practical completion three days early by Sir Robert McAlpine and Soho Estates. The building features a four-storey basement that will house a huge cinema room, a huge five-storey high glazed cone and multiple façade types covering the building to give it a unique and extravagant quality.
