Plan approved to add 30,000 square feet of retail space to Oxford Street

A 300 million pound project to add 30,000 square feet of new retail space to Oxford Street in London has been given the green light.

Westminster City Council agreed to the project which would see six buildings demolished between Oxford Street, Berwick Street and Wardour Street to make room for the development.

As well as the 30,000 square feet of retail space, 60,000 square feet of offices, and a 9,000 square foot nightclub will be added.

Daejan Investments, the investment firm developing the project which is controlled by the Freshwater family, bought the address 137 Oxford Street from Carnaby Properties for 18 million pounds in 2015.
