IHQ Building Project
A DEVELOPMENT Agreement has been entered into between The Salvation Army International Trustee Company and Hines Real Estate Holdings Limited Partnership to redevelop the site of the Army's International Headquarters (IHQ) in Queen Victoria Street, central London.
The scheme will enable a new headquarters to be built on the western end of the present site, adjacent to the pedestrian walkway and bridge linking St Paul's Cathedral to the new Tate Modern Gallery. The remainder of the site will be developed for commercial letting. The new headquarters will be provided at no cost to the Army by means of a leasehold interest in the portion of the site being developed for commercial offices. International Headquarters has retained the freehold ownership of the entire site.
The two buildings have been designed as independent structures, enabling either to be separately redeveloped in the future. While it will be a functional office development, the IHQ building will also demonstrate the Army's religious purpose and ethos. The new headquarters building will encourage interaction, by means of visitor information services, with the many thousands of tourists and visitors who pass along the walkway following the opening of the pedestrian footbridge across the Thames.
Demolition and construction work commenced in June 2002, with the new buildings being available for occupation towards the end of 2004. To facilitate this work, International Headquarters has relocated from the site to temporary accommodation within the UK Territory's William Booth College at Denmark Hill, London.
