Case Study: Alfred Equities achieves Grade A office space at One Portsoken with Oktra

Alfred Equities boosts lettable space by 20% with Oktra

Alfred Equities, a forward-thinking developer, faced the challenge of refurbishing and revitalizing the 1980s-built One Portsoken Street, a large but dated office building in London. They selected Oktra to undertake this comprehensive design and build project, aiming to transform the property into modern Grade A office space while utilizing a construction method that would reduce risk and achieve completion in a record time.

Oktra delivered a full refurbishment, which included gutting the building and performing a complex nine-storey atrium infill to increase lettable space by 20%. The solution restored the building's Brutalist architecture while adding modern amenities, resulting in a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating and a WiredScore Platinum certification. Oktra successfully transformed the 233,000 sq ft property into a premier office destination with enhanced natural light, new lifts, end-of-trip facilities, and exclusive terraces, completing the ambitious project in 76 weeks.
