About
16 Greville Street
The property features an impressive marble-fronted shopfront and was fitted to an exceptionally high-security standard, incorporating security specifications understood to be based on NATO standards.
Arranged over four floors plus basement, the building offers substantial and highly versatile accommodation, making it particularly suitable for a purchaser seeking a prestigious headquarters, flagship premises or central London base.
The ground-floor shop and basement are currently let, with approximately two years remaining on the lease, producing £110,000 per annum, and subject to annual CPI-linked increases.
The upper three floors are currently vacant, having until recently been let at a combined rent of £70,000 per annum. This provides an incoming purchaser with considerable flexibility for their own occupation or future letting.

The top floor previously benefited from planning permission for change of use to residential accommodation. Although the permission has now expired, this demonstrates the property's potential for residential use, subject to obtaining fresh planning consent.
The upper floors enjoy superb panoramic views across the City to both the front and rear, providing an impressive outlook and an abundance of natural light.
The property also benefits from a small private rear garden together with a first-floor rear terrace garden, both unusual and attractive features for a building in such a central London location.
