The OWO Residences in London Bring Legendary British History and Hospitality to Life

Douglas Elliman and its UK-based partner Knight Frank  are offering international homebuyers the opportunity to reside in a storied London building and enjoy the rarified comforts of a storied hospitality brand. Located within the opulently baroque and magnificently restored Edwardian landmark building that was formerly known as the Old War Office, The OWO Residences are a collection of 85 private residences serviced by the UK’s first Raffles hotel and an assortment of nine bars and restaurants. Amenities includes 30,000 square feet of dedicated residents-only amenity spaces. The one- to five-bedroom residences are available for purchase, starting at £4,000,000. Built from 1886 to 1906, The OWO originally housed the UK’s Ministry of Defence, where such towering statesmen as Winston Churchill and Lord Haldane worked, and provided inspiration for the intelligence officer-turned-James Bond creator Ian Fleming. The building underwent an eight-year, £1.4-billion restoration led by owner The Hinduja Group and an exceptional team of architects and designers, including 1508 London, EPR Architects and Thierry W. Despont. The OWO is situated in the heart of London on Whitehall and opposite Horse Guards and just a short walk from the Royal Park of St. James’s, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament and Downing Street. “Knight Frank and Douglas Elliman are honored to represent our esteemed client, The Hinduja Group, in marketing the 85 unique apartments within this architectural masterpiece,” said Paddy Dring, Partner, Global Head of Prime Sales and Joint Head of Private Office at Knight Frank. “The level of attention to detail and captivating history of The OWO make it a truly exceptional destination, unlike any other in the capital.” “The OWO Residences exemplify the unique blend of classic elegance and modern luxury that our clients relish,” said Susan de França, President and Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. “We are proud to be among such esteemed partners in offering this truly historic opportunity.” The architectural and design teams have retained much of the original fabric and character of the building, from the lofty scale and soaring ceiling heights to breathtaking features such as the grand marbled central staircase and intricate domed ceiling plasterwork.
