The Challenge

An Iconic refurbishment

Dominated by periodic Victorian warehouse offices and restaurants, the Regent’s Quarter is a 3.5 acre freehold estate adjoining King’s Cross Station.

With interspersed, pedestrianised courtyards, this mixed use estate comprises of 12 office buildings and 20 retail & leisure units.

The Input Group were tasked to rejuvenate and convert the existing facilities to cater for modern residential and office requirements. This complex project comprises a seven-storey residential block providing 35 luxury apartments; a six-storey office block; and a five-storey block comprising one retail and three residential units.

The project involved creating new offices for the Eurostar staff in central London.

Geothermal cooling systems and bio-diverse roofs were among the sustainability credentials.

Great care was taken to retain the character of the building and its features.

Our Approach

Flexible & Sustainable

The full remit of The Input Group’s turnkey capabilities were required across the project that saw the company return to the development it first worked on in the late 1990s.

In addition to the residential refurbishments, conversion of a listed former horse stables into corporate offices completed the project.

Geothermal cooling systems and bio-diverse roofs were among the sustainability credentials of the new buildings, with the office space aiming for a BREAAM Excellent rating.

The Result

Considered rejuvenation

Completed on time and on budget, today Times House remains a vibrant office for Eurostar employees.

The Regent’s Quarter is now a diverse tenant mix of global brands, hotels and restaurants; amongst which Google is developing their European Headquarters in the adjacent King’s Cross Argent Estate.

The Input Group is proud to have played a lead role in its early stage rejuvenation.

Vibrant residential living and modern offices for Eurostar employees.

Bright, accessible walkways with modern features.
