Construction will start next year on the Queensway site in Bayswater opposite the revamp of the Whiteleys department store site which Laing O’Rourke is overseeing.

Foster + Partners has designed The William which will deliver six floors of Grade A office space spanning 90,000 sq ft alongside 21,000 sq ft of shops and 32 new homes when it opens in 2026.

The William will be constructed using cross-laminated timber making it one of London’s largest timber developments.
