Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

HISTORIC FIREHOUSE TRANSFORMS

 

ALTIDO, one of Europe’s largest property management companies and part of the international living platform DoveVivo has secured a 10-year lease for the building, which was constructed in 1906 and sits in the heart of Victoria. The rent-to-rent agreement represents ALTIDO and DoveVivo’s most substantial property acquisition to date.

The pre-existing renovation of the property, which previously offered residential apartments for sale, saw it developed into 19 design-led units including a mix of one, two and three-bed apartments with custom fixtures and fittings used to complement its unique architectural features. This original conversion was sympathetic to the building’s heritage and a selection of original features remain, although the fireman’s pole is no longer in place.

A selection of the apartments also have panoramic views of the London skyline and Big Ben. The enclosed courtyard, which was once a turning circle for fire trucks and an exercise yard for the firemen, now provides calm and secluded respite from busy city life.

Under ALTIDO’s management, Westminster Fire Station will provide accommodation for days, weeks or months with a concierge service on hand. This will be ALTIDO’s flagship property in London sitting alongside other landmark properties in the portfolio including Gilmerton House in Scotland and Galleria in Milan.

Will Parry, CEO, ALTIDO, said, “We are thrilled to be able to put this iconic, characterful property on London’s hospitality map. The building’s distinct heritage and high-spec renovation make it an entirely unique option for discerning travelers visiting the capital. We’re sure guests are going to be captivated by this icon of London’s architectural heritage.”
