50 Electric Boulevard is part of the third phase of the Battersea Power Station masterplan. The office building provides 200,000 square feet of new workspace on Electric Boulevard, a split-level high street that runs from the Zone 1 Battersea Power Station Underground station to the Grade II* listed landmark.
The office is a stone’s throw from the power station, which is home to over 100 shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues, Battersea Park and the River Thames. It is a vibrant and uplifting place to work, which prioritises sustainability through its design. The building’s undulating form generates a varying floorplate, which provides maximum flexibility and will accommodate future tenant requirements.
50 Electric Boulevard’s entrance lobby is situated on the ground floor and is marked by a prominent entranceway on the high street. The lobby connects with the upper ground floor and a double-height pavilion, known as the Light Box, via a striking spiral staircase. Positioned in the space between 50 Electric Boulevard and the adjacent Battersea Roof Gardens building, the pavilion is illuminated by a series of generous roof lights and full of lush greenery. It also features a coffee bar and bleacher seating for large-scale events.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and cantilevered balconies create a permeable and healthy working environment, while the use of greenery and natural materials throughout the space enhances wellbeing. The building is naturally ventilated and has its own roof terrace, for exercise classes and office events. A new entrance to the Battersea Power Station underground station, directly underneath the building, will open in spring 2025, allowing for faster travel to and from the office.
The adjacent Battersea Roof Gardens is a mixed-use building featuring 436 apartments, the 164-room art’otel London Battersea Power Station, and one of the city’s largest rooftop gardens. The two new buildings and high street share a gently undulating form, which has been designed to maximise views of the power station. The meandering street offers a wide range of restaurants and shops, receding and expanding at the upper level to create unique vantage points and moments of pause for people as they walk along.
50 Electric Boulevard achieves BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum ratings.
