Have Your Say

45 Beech Street, located on the edge of the Barbican and Golden Lane estates, has recently been purchased by HubCap, a subsidiary of HUB, and Bridges Fund Management.

We are now in a position to share our initial proposals for the building and would like to invite you to meet with us and provide your feedback.

Please read on to find out more about the plans and how you can get involved.

The Vision

We believe that there is an opportunity for the building to become part of the existing residential community and make a positive contribution to the area. Therefore, we are proposing to sensitively refurbish and repurpose the building, changing its use from office to new homes. 

Our proposals will:

Repurpose the building as a residential community which is more in keeping with the surrounding area 

Open up the ground floor to the existing local community with a public café and co-working space 

Improve the public realm making the area greener and more accessible 

Significantly improve the energy sustainability of the building, in accordance with the City Corporation’s vision for 2025 aiming to achieve the highest industry standards as defined by BREEAM and WELL 

Create a car-free development 

Re-use the parts of the existing structure and façade materials that are still in good shape 

It is our aim that the proposals will help to create a vibrant community inside the building which will then contribute to the established neighbourhood on the doorstep. By re-using as much of the existing building as possible, we will also limit the impacts of demolition on the area and dramatically decrease the amount of carbon produced by the project.
