Mayfair & St James’s are areas undergoing a transformational change. In recent decades one of the most expensive locations in the world has evolved into a largely commercial, retail and hotel destination. Surrounded by parks, adorned with iconic and historic buildings and home to London’s luxury retail, Mayfair & St James’s have undergone several eras of change. The present transformation is an incremental one back towards its more historic residential roots. The escalating demand for high-end and prestigious homes is the catalyst for change. Most significantly, given the scale and nature of developments, we expect Grosvenor Square to shortly become the most desirable residential address in the world.
