Queen Victoria Street

In 2004, Abstract completed the development of two new office buildings in the City of London working with Hines (UK). The buildings are on the site of the former International Headquarters of The Salvation Army and part of the redevelopment of the site involved the creation of a new 35,000 sq ft International Headquarters facility for the Army.

This building subsequently won the London City Architecture Award in 2006. 

The remainder of the site was developed into a separate 90,000 sq ft office building owned by Hines.  This project had a value in excess of £65 million.  Hines subsequently let the speculative building in full to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited and sold on the resultant investment to the State of Oman.
