Historic Mayfair building set to become New England inspired restaurant concept

A historic building in London’s Mayfair is set to become home to a New England inspired restaurant concept following a new deal.

The GHS Limited Partnership (GHS), one of Great Portland Estates plc’s (GPE) joint ventures, announces that it has let 20 Hanover Square to Colonial Property Co for its newest offering.

The Grade II listed building will be transformed into a three-floor venue, comprising 9,350 sq ft of restaurant and bar space.

Marc Wilder, GPE’s leasing director, commented: “We’re delighted that Colonial has chosen our world class Hanover Square development to open their first UK restaurant.

“The New England cuisine style and opulent fit out will combine to create the most exciting eating and drinking destination in the heart of Mayfair.

“We are also encouraged by the continuing strong occupier interest across a high proportion of the total remaining space within the scheme”.

The founder of Colonial Property added: “This Georgian property at the heart of the new Hanover Square development is the perfect location for our concept - rich with British heritage, style and elegance.

“We are thrilled to be working with GPE on this and look forward to revealing more about the concept as we get closer to the opening in the autumn of 2021.”
