Whitechapel High Street

Location: London E1
Client: R Reiss and Sons
Architect: Clements and Porter

This redevelopment of two terraced properties at the edge of the City of London was to provide two ground floor retail units with basements, and eight, one and two bedroom high specification flats above, with the roof raised to incorporate flat eight within a new storey.

Due to a large extent of structural failure in both of these buildings, parts of which date back to the 18th century, extensive structural repairs were required prior to reinstatement work commencing.

We worked in partnership with the design team to provide a superbly finished development and, to the clients delight, full rental occupancy was achieved almost immediately after completion.
