Sellar Property Group

Sellar Property Group is a British property group headquartered on Bermondsey Street in London. Its activities focus on property development and large-scale urban regeneration, particularly in central and inner London locations. The group is best known for its involvement in Shard London Bridge, the mixed-use skyscraper development beside London Bridge in the London Borough of Southwark. The Shard became one of the most recognizable additions to the London skyline and incorporated offices, restaurants, hotel accommodation, residential space, and a public viewing attraction. Sellar has also participated in plans for Paddington Quarter, a substantial redevelopment of the former Royal Mail sorting office beside Paddington Station. The project was pursued in partnership with architect Renzo Piano and Great Western Developments. Reference material describes the proposed redevelopment as having an estimated value of £775 million, although no independently documented time context or source for that figure is provided here, so it is not treated as a verified financial disclosure. The scheme reflects Sellar’s role in converting strategically located former infrastructure and commercial sites into mixed-use districts linked to major transport hubs. Another reported project is King’s Place, associated with a planned student-accommodation development on Borough High Street. Planning permission was granted for a 444-bed scheme, placing the project within the group’s broader involvement in residential and accommodation-led development in Southwark and surrounding central London areas. The company was previously headquartered in Park Street, Mayfair, before moving to its Bermondsey Street address. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about its ownership, leadership, founding date, financial performance, corporate structure, and activities outside the United Kingdom. Sellar is therefore best characterized as a privately held or otherwise non-publicly documented British property-development group whose profile is primarily defined by landmark London projects rather than by consumer products or a broad international brand network.

Sellar Property Group’s documented history is closely associated with the redevelopment of prominent London sites. The group’s most visible project is Shard London Bridge, a large mixed-use development in Southwark. The project was delivered as a major addition to the area around London Bridge and became an architectural landmark on the London skyline. Its development involved a range of uses rather than a single commercial function, including office, hospitality, residential, leisure, and visitor facilities. The group later appeared in plans for Paddington Quarter, a proposed redevelopment of the former Royal Mail sorting office next to Paddington Station. Sellar worked with architect Renzo Piano and Great Western Developments on the scheme. The project illustrates the company’s interest in the redevelopment of large, strategically located urban sites, particularly those connected to major transport infrastructure. The proposal was described in the available reference material as a £775 million redevelopment, but the source material does not provide a date or detailed financial documentation for that estimate. Sellar has also been associated with King’s Place, following the granting of planning permission for a 444-bed student-accommodation project on Borough High Street. This development broadened the group’s documented project portfolio beyond landmark commercial and mixed-use schemes into purpose-built accommodation. The company was formerly based on Park Street in Mayfair and is now headquartered at 42–44 Bermondsey Street in London. Beyond these location and project references, the available material does not establish a founding year, founder, ownership structure, named executives, public listing, or detailed chronology of corporate transactions. Its documented identity remains that of a British property group whose principal public profile comes from major London development projects.

A London-focused property development group positioned around landmark urban regeneration, mixed-use schemes, and major transport-oriented redevelopment projects.

• Mixed-use property development

  Shard London Bridge

  Shard London Bridge is Sellar Property Group’s best-known development. Located in the London Borough of Southwark near London Bridge, the project is a landmark mixed-use skyscraper incorporating offices, hotel accommodation, residences, restaurants, visitor facilities, and a public viewing attraction. Its combination of commercial, hospitality, residential, and leisure uses made it a major regeneration project rather than a conventional single-purpose building.

• Urban regeneration and mixed-use development

  Paddington Quarter

  Paddington Quarter is a proposed redevelopment of the former Royal Mail sorting office next to Paddington Station. Sellar pursued the plans in partnership with architect Renzo Piano and Great Western Developments. The scheme is intended to transform a large former operational site beside a major transport interchange into a new mixed-use district. The available reference material describes the proposal as having an estimated value of £775 million, without providing a dated financial source.

• Student accommodation development

  King’s Place

  King’s Place is a Sellar-associated development on Borough High Street in London. Planning permission was granted for a 444-bed student-accommodation scheme. The project represents an accommodation-focused element of Sellar’s documented portfolio and extends its activity into purpose-built student housing in the Southwark area.
