Stanhope plc is a large property development company based in London, England. Its developments have included Broadgate and the BBC Television centre at White City.
History[edit]
The company was founded by Sir Stuart Lipton and Peter Rogers in 1983.[1] They were the developers of the Broadgate complex in the 1980s.[2] In 1995, the company developed Gresham St Paul's (previously Garrard House) in Gresham Street, London, for Schroders.[3] The company went on to develop Paternoster Square, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, in the late 1990s.[4][5]
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.[6]
Lipton sold his share in the company to the chief executive, David Camp, in December 2005.[7][8] In July 2012, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan and Alberta Investment Management Corporation, the company acquired the BBC Television centre at White City or £200 million.[9][10] and, 2019, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, the company started work on the 51-storey tower block known as 8 Bishopsgate.[11]
