Stanhope plc is a large property development company based in London, England. Its developments have included Broadgate and the BBC Television centre at White City.
The company was founded by Sir Stuart Lipton and Peter Rogers in 1983.[1] They were the developers of the Broadgate complex in the 1980s.[2] In 1995, the company developed Gresham St Paul's (previously Garrard House) in Gresham Street, London, for Schroders.[3] The company went on to develop Paternoster Square, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, in the late 1990s.[4][5]
In 2000, Stanhope, along with British Gas, Lendlease, Chelsfield plc and Hambros Bank formed Exchequer Partnership plc, a special purpose vehicle, which successfully bid for the PFI contract for the refurbishment of Government Offices Great George Street, London to house HM Treasury.[6]
Lipton sold his share in the company to the chief executive, David Camp, in December 2005.[7][8] In July 2012, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan and Alberta Investment Management Corporation, the company acquired the BBC Television centre at White City or £200 million.[9][10] and, 2019, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, the company started work on the 51-storey tower block known as 8 Bishopsgate.[11]
