Currently undergoing meticulous restoration, The OWO is being revived to become a new focal point in central London. Its strategic location places it just moments away from the Royal Park of St. James’s, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, and Downing Street, all within easy walking distance. 1-5 bedroom residences available.
Constructed between 1886 and 1906 to serve as the Ministry of Defence headquarters, this Edwardian marvel in the Baroque style holds the distinguished Grade II* listing. Following an extensive £1.4 billion forensic restoration, it has transformed into a residence comprising 85 private units, complemented by a 120-room 5-star Raffles hotel and an array of 12 bars and restaurants. The colossal undertaking, involving 25 million bricks and 26,000 tons of stone across a sprawling 71,000 sqm, reflects the ambitious vision of the Hinduja Group.
