100 Middlesex Street

Abstract undertook a development management role for GE Real Estate to enhance the value of Rodwell House, 100 Middlesex Street, at the edge of the City. The existing building provided approximately 150,000 sq ft gross internal area. Abstract assembled a team which achieved planning consent of approximately 500,000 sq ft gross for the site, creating a significant uplift in value for GE.

Abstract was retained to position and sell the resultant development opportunity and the property was sold to Blackstone, acting with Generation Estates for high-quality student accommodation. The building is now the tallest student housing development in Europe.
