Great Portland highlighted its development programme in a sparkling set of results for the year to March 31 2014 which show pre-tax profits up 73% to £38.4m.

The firm is focused on the booming London market with most of its schemes in the West End.

Great Portland is currently on-site at Walmar House in W1 and 12/14 New Fetter Lane EC4 developing a total of 202,800 sq ft of space.

The firm also has seven other schemes where construction could start within the next 24 months.

Planned projects include Rathbone Square W1, 73/89 Oxford Street W1, St Lawrence House at 26/34 Broadwick Street W1 and Tasman House at 59/63 Wells Street W1.

Chief executive Toby Courtald said: “With London’s growth outpacing a resurgent UK economy, we can expect conditions in our markets to strengthen further; employment levels are on the rise whilst order books are growing, suggesting that the space needs of the Capital’s businesses will follow suit.
