Practice delivers hundreds of new homes plus offices and shops on site of 1960s New Scotland Yard

Squire & Partners has completed its redevelopment of the Metropolitan Police’s former New Scotland Yard headquarters, which features 268 apartments, three floors of offices and retail and restaurant uses at ground-floor level.

Its design splits the site – off Victoria Street and opposite Charles Holden’s grade I-listed 55 Broadway building – into two podiums, each with three buildings of 14 to 19 storeys in height. The development, named The Broadway, also delivers a new public space called Orchard Place.

The scheme’s lower ground floor and two basement levels house residential amenities, including a spa with swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms, treatment rooms, a gym, changing facilities, a games room, cycle storage and parking.
