The OWO Residences by Raffles have now launched, marking a pivotal moment in the history of one of London’s most iconic buildings.
Europe’s first Raffles-branded residences offer a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Winston Churchill’s legacy. 85 homes are available within the impressive Grade II* Listed former Old War Office building, which has been closed to the public for more than a century.
Each residence is unique, and specifically tailored according to its location within the building; duplex, lateral and penthouse residences range in size from studios to five beds. In addition, two spectacular turret residences, elevated above the London skyline, offer a home like no other.
Homeowners will benefit all the facilities of a world-renowned hotel on their doorstep without having to compromise on the highest levels of privacy and seclusion within their home.
At the helm of The OWO project is the Hinduja Group, an international multi-billion turnover group founded in 1914 and passionately committed to the building since its acquisition in 2014. It has worked alongside a team of experts, including Historic England and Museum of London Archaeology, and has appointed EPR Architects to oversee the intricate redevelopment. The hotel’s interiors are being designed by NYC-based designer, Thierry Despont.
Having undergone a painstaking transformation over the past five years, the London landmark is set to complete in 2022 and will also comprise the capital’s first Raffles hotel with 125 rooms and suites, nine restaurants and bars, and an immersive spa.
