Redevelopment
Make going nowhere with Noho
Make’s proposal for Noho Square (pictured), on the site of the former Middlesex Hospital in central London, looks increasingly unlikely to be realised after troubled Icelandic owner Kaupthing admitted a string of developers were looking to buy into the scheme.
Joint venture partner Christian Candy’s CPC Group exited from the scheme earlier this month in a deal also involving a separate joint development in Los Angeles.
Kaupthing real estate boss Mike Samuels insisted it was too early to tell what would happen to Make’s proposal. “We are talking to four or five [potential venture partners],” he said. “We have certainly had no discussions over whether Make is involved.”

Fantastic! The Candy Bros cut and run having demolished a perfectly good building which was an attractive local landmark and served the community well for 75 years. The 1920s hospital could have been converted to a new use, as has been done all overt the country - far more sustainable than knocking it down. Local people are now left with an ugly hole in the ground which blights this part of Fitzrovia, and may be destined to become a huge car park. The only good thing is the prospect that the hideous jelly-fish design that Westminster CC nodded through with mud in their eyes, might be abandoned and we get something of far highher quality that enhances this historic neighbourhood rather than degrades it. Hopefully the stupid Noho name will go the same way!
