We're pleased to be working with Addington Capital on the transformation of Senator House – a 150,000 sq. ft City property. This project goes further, bringing together property management, project delivery, and sustainability expertise under one roof to create something better.
Our appointment is part of a comprehensive transformation of Senator House, a 150,000 sq. ft property in the heart of London’s financial district.
The building gives new owners Addington Capital a strong refurbishment opportunity to upgrade the lower floors to create high quality Cat-A Offices, with enhanced ESG credentials and is well timed to take advantage of a shortage in top quality office stock in the City market.
The investor and asset manager is actively pursuing “brown to green” projects across Central London, upgrading buildings with strong fundamentals to create the high quality, ESG-compliant space sought after by today’s occupiers. At Senator House, the ambitious refurbishment project includes works to the vacant office floors, reception, cycle store, and showers, along with the introduction of sustainable technologies.
“The project demonstrates how sophisticated real estate management can breathe new life into established commercial properties, balancing the needs of existing tenants with forward-looking investment strategies and business plans. For the regeneration of Senator House, we have set out a collaborative and carefully managed approach, in line with Addington Capital’s plan for strategic property improvements. We are committed to streamlining works and maintaining positive occupier relationships.”

Early engagement with our Sustainability team
Early engagement with the Workman Sustainability team and the provision of a Pre-Refurbishment Audit to understand the potential for reuse and recycling shows a real commitment to circular economy principles.
This will be developed through the provision of Whole Life Carbon Assessments at both design and completion stages, led by Danielle Dinneen, Sustainability Consultant and whole life carbon modelling expert within Workman’s Sustainability team, as part of a continued drive to minimise embodied and operational carbon throughout the design and decision-making process.

One of the most innovative aspects of this development is Workman’s integrated approach to property management, project delivery, and expert whole life carbon consultancy. By utilising teams from within the same organisation, the project benefits from unrivalled collaboration and efficiency.
The integrated team approach offers multiple advantages. Property managers can provide immediate insights into occupier needs, while project managers can quickly adjust works to minimise disruption. The teams can share knowledge instantly, proactively plan interventions, and ensure smooth communication.
“By comprehensively upgrading the property, Addington Capital aims to enhance its market value and attractiveness to potential occupiers. This three-year transformation plan is designed to position Senator House as a premium office space in one of London’s most competitive commercial districts.”
