KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 12): Battersea Power Station in London will see its office further expanding in 2023 with the completion of 50 Electric Boulevard, a 200,000 sq ft office building designed by Foster + Partners, according to a statement dated Oct 11.
50 Electric Boulevard is the BREEAM Outstanding rated workplace. It has been designed with a focus on well-being and smart tech, as well as a 1,800 sq ft communal urban roof garden and a 4,000 sq ft amenity pavilion with trees and sky lights.
Battersea Power Station’s existing 565,000 sq ft of office space has been occupied by Apple, SharkNinja and The Engine Room — a coworking space by IWG.
Meanwhile, the Grade II listed building has since welcomed more than 11 million visitors and opened over 35 new shops, eateries and leisure venues since it opened to the public for the first time in history on Oct 14, 2022, the statement said.
Battersea Power Station Development Company Ltd chief executive officer Simon Murphy said in the statement: “The opening of the Power Station and Electric Boulevard in October 2022 after a decade of careful transformational restoration was an extraordinary achievement, and a testament to the commitment of our shareholders.
“It has been amazing to witness Battersea Power Station become the vibrant and thriving riverside neighbourhood it is today, and we are proud to have reached the milestone of welcoming over 11 million visitors. We never stand still and will continue to expand what this new town centre has to offer in the coming months and years.”
New openings at the riverside neighbourhood since last October include the 24,000 sq ft Arcade Food Hall, Apple Battersea, Bounce Ping Pong, LEGO®, The Cinema in the Power Station, ME+EM, Scamp & Dude, MALIN+GOETZ, Arc’teryx, Office Shoes, M&S Foodhall, A.P.C., NOCI Pasta, Jigsaw, Penhaligon’s and Under Armour.
Openings still to come at Battersea Power Station in 2023 include the UK’s first tashas — a cafe concept that started in South Africa; Searcy’s Champagne Bar, following its pop-up inside the Power Station; and Borough Kitchen Cook Shop & Cook School. Boots will also debut its first beauty-only store at the Power Station later this year.
Koa at Electric Boulevard’s 204 apartments designed by Foster + Partners is also due to complete by the end of 2023. This will grow the community of over 2,500 residents who already live at Battersea Power Station, said the statement.
