Formerly known as Victoria Circle, the 897,000-square-foot Nova, Victoria scheme is being developed on a 5.5 acre island site, which will provide a new place to work, live, eat, drink, shop and enjoy.
Upon completion, the scheme will offer 603,000-square-foot, world-class grade A offices; 193,000-square-foot contemporary high quality apartments; 85,000-square-foot high profile retail, cafes and restaurants; and 16,000 square feet of community space.
Along with five other buildings, Nova, Victoria will also include new public and cultural space, with evolving public art and outdoor dining, linking Victoria Station to Buckingham Palace and St James Park.
To be constructed in phases, the 727,000-squre-foot first phase of Nova comprises 480,000 square-feet of offices, 80,000-square-foot retail and 170 apartments across three buildings within a new pedestrianised, landscaped public quarter, which is due for completion in the second quarter of 2016.
Nova, Victoria has been designed in collaboration with various architects. PLP Architecture has designed the masterplan and is the architect for three commercial buildings. Benson & Forsyth will deliver the residential scheme fronting Buckingham Palace Road with Flanagan Lawrence while Lynch Architects are responsible for the mixed-use civic building fronting Victoria Street.
