Challenge

To provide consistently high-quality customized development and project management services across multiple international locations.

Strategy

Selfridges owns a portfolio of luxury retailers in the UK, Europe, and North America, each operating within unique building and regulatory contexts. Knightsbridge’s knowledge of local codes and approval processes combined with our ability to provide services at every stage of development and construction have allowed us to work as a trusted partner regardless of location or project type.

Solutions

Knightsbridge’s work with Selfridges ranges from development management, cost management, materials procurement, design, and construction. Sustainability studies are conducted for all projects so that carbon emissions in new constructions can be mitigated through green building technology and sustainable material use. In architectural restoration and renovation projects, embedded carbons are captured through re-purposing of existing buildings and materials. Additional advisory services have included lease negotiations, procurement of consultants, as well as board presentations and pro forma development.

Outcome

To date, Knightsbridge has provided services for the London flagship store, Arnotts, Brown Thomas, De Bijenkorf, and all Holt Renfrew locations, including Toronto’s stand-alone men’s store, Montreal’s Ogilvy, and the Square One location in Mississauga.
