Now that we are in a position to continue with the development, our partner, Howard de Walden Estates, plans to start work on the site as soon as possible. During the construction period every effort will be made to ensure minimal inconvenience to local residents.“
Simon Baynham, Property Director of Howard de Walden Estates, commented: “The Estate is delighted that this new ground breaking technology will be coming to The Harley Street Medical Area. From a personal point of view I know many people who would have benefited from this new technology had it been available previously. Accordingly the sooner we get on and build it, the better.”
