The Crown Estate has confirmed three lettings at its £300m Quadrant 3 development off Regent Street, W1.
Restaurateurs Jeremy King and Chris Corbin plan to revamp one of the scheme’s two 1930s Art Deco restaurants – formerly the Atlantic Bar & Grill and Titanic Restaurant – to create a Parisian Grand Café & Brasserie-styled restaurant.
As revealed by Estates Gazette, Whole Foods Market plans to open a 17,000 sq ft store at Quadrant 3 in spring 2012.
As much as 30,000 sq ft of retail is now let or under offer at the 270,000 sq ft building.
Former US vice president Al Gore’s firm Generation Investment Management is the first office tenant to sign up to the scheme’s 200,000 sq ft of office space. Generation has signed a 15-year lease for the 21,300 sq ft top floor.
The Crown Estate has now completed the mixed-use development and is handing over space to the retail, restaurant and office tenants.
Roger Bright, chief executive of the Crown Estate, said: “Quadrant 3 is the latest development in our £1bn Regent Street investment programme and delivers a wholesale transformation to this prominent part of the West End. It is the largest and most ambitious scheme we have ever undertaken and as my time at the helm of the Crown Estate draws to a close, I can’t think of a more fitting symbol of all we have achieved in Regent Street during the last decade.”
