Planning permission has been granted for a new five storey office building on the corner of Putney Bridge and Deodar Road.

The offices are being designed by dn-a architects and developed by Landid and will overlook Wandsworth Park.

The Parklife Building will double the amount of office space on the existing site, with the demolition of the 40,000 sq ft vacant office building, into a 80,000 sq ft, ‘ urban workplace’.

The building will also provide 7,000 sq ft of retail space fronting onto the park, as well as occupier amenities such as: cycle and shower facilities, on-site yoga lessons and cafes. The office building extends to five storeys and will have terraces on every floor, making the most of the park setting.

Claire Hammond (née Freeland), Development Director at Landid said: “Putney has lost a significant amount of commercial space as a result of permitted development rights, and there is a lack of Grade A floorspace. The Parklife Building will have everything we look for in a workspace – including excellent connectivity, amenity, and character within a very special setting.”

“We have already had a number of very positive discussions with national and local occupiers looking for good quality office space in Putney. We are confident The Parklife Building will draw a range of new occupiers to this attractive part of south-west London and provide the calibre of workspace that has a positive impact on business performance, including staff attraction and retention, productivity, wellness and more.”

Nick Troullides, Director at dn-a said; “Our architectural approach is to deliver a high quality design which creates a much improved office building to attract occupiers and enhance the existing streetscape. The architecture is sympathetic and respectful to its surroundings, yet contemporary in its execution.”

The Parklife Building will start on site in early 2017, with an 18-month build period and expected completion date of June 2018.
