History

edit

Stanhope was founded by Stuart Lipton and Peter Rogers in 1983.[1][2] They were the developers of the Broadgate complex in the 1980s.[3]

In 1995, the company developed Gresham St Paul's (previously Garrard House) in Gresham Street, London, for Schroders.[4] The company went on to develop Paternoster Square, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, in the late 1990s.[5][6]

In 2000, Stanhope, along with British Gas, Lendlease, Chelsfield plc and Hambros Bank formed Exchequer Partnership plc, a special purpose vehicle, which successfully bid for the PFI contract for the refurbishment of Government Offices Great George Street, London to house HM Treasury.[7]

Lipton sold his share in the company to the chief executive, David Camp, in December 2005.[8][9] In July 2012, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan and AIMCo, the company acquired Television Centre at White City for £200 million.[10][11] and, 2019, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, the company started work on the 51-storey 8 Bishopsgate tower block.[12]

As at December 2022, AIMCo, Cadillac Fairview and Mitsui Fudosan held a combined 80% of the shares with management owning the remainder.[13]
