McLaren to repurpose art deco landmark

Publica Properties Establishment has appointed McLaren Construction to carry out the £132 million refurbishment and extension of 318 Oxford Street, repurposing the House of Fraser department store as a 34,000 square metre mixed use development.
The project restores the art deco landmark, built in 1937 and occupied originally by DH Evans and then by the House of Fraser until it went into administration in August 2018. The building is badly damaged by ‘Regent Street disease’ and
