Our client The Langham Estate recently announced that international arts institute The Kamel Lazaar Foundation has signed a lease to occupy 93 Mortimer Street, a Grade II-listed 18th-century heritage commercial building.
The foundation, which supports the research and production of art by Middle Eastern and North African contemporary artists, will occupy the entire 10,000 sq ft building, which has recently undergone a meticulous historical restoration led by Robson Warren Architects – and in doing so create a new cultural landmark in London’s Fitzrovia Quarter.
The restoration is part of The Langham Estate’s continued investment programme, which aims to enhance and improve its portfolio, with many more retrofit projects expected to complete throughout the year.
Open to the public, the Kamel Lazaar Foundation’s headquarters at 93 Mortimer Street will include a library, screening room, spiritual space, and events space. This will host roundtables, movements, talks, and artist residencies, all aligned with the foundation’s mission to highlight the artistic richness of the Middle East and North Africa and foster cultural exchange beyond borders.
The story was covered in CoStar, BE News, and other trade titles.
