Nine-storey residential and retail development replaces a 1980s office block

E8 Architecture has completed 204 Great Portland Street, a mixed-use development within the Harley Street Conservation Area in central London.

The nine-storey building has eight floors of residential accommodation above ground-floor retail, replacing a 1980s red brick office block.

Great Portland Street has long served as a key commercial thoroughfare, marking the boundary between Marylebone and Fitzrovia.

Historically developed by the Dukes of Portland, the street reflects a layered urban fabric, with Victorian and Edwardian buildings defining much of its architectural character. Over the 20th century, it became known for its role in the motor trade, media, and fashion industries.
