Former home of Surrey County Council sold to luxury property developer
Surrey County Council’s former headquarters has been sold to luxury property developers, with permission granted for 292 new homes on the site.
London Square has bought the former County Hall in Kingston from RER London at an undisclosed price, after it was listed earlier in the year.
The 5.2-acre site includes the main Grade II listed County Hall and a range of other buildings and courtyard areas.
Adam Lawrence, London Square’s chief executive, said: "Once restored and converted into elegant homes, County Hall Kingston will become a unique offering for those looking to make this sought after royal borough their home."
Construction boards surrounding the property say future residents can expect to move in from 2027.
Planning permission is already in place for 256 private flats, as well as 36 for affordable housing, and 47,447 sq ft (4,408sq m) of commercial space.
Refurbishment, restoration and extension will “transform” the historical site into a “premium development”, London Square said.
