Architects have drawn up plans to fill a derelict site on London’s Billionaires’ Row with 300 homes – as property developers turn the street’s sprawling mansions into luxury flats and retirement complexes.
Designs created by leading firms Mae and RCKa show the area on one of the capital’s most expensive streets has space for hundreds of affordable properties – and could even include a new arts centre.
The current owner of the three hectare Bishops Avenue site is an Isle of Man-registered company whose beneficial owner is listed as a Cypriot businessman who gives a Dubai address, according to the Guardian.
