CIT appoints Knight Frank as sole retail leasing agents at 8 Eaton Lane
Knight Frank’s Retail Leasing Team has been appointed as the exclusive retail/restaurant leasing agents for one of London’s most prestigious mixed-use developments, 8 Eaton Lane, in Belgravia.
The Grade II listed building was originally designed by Thomas Cundy III to provide the first serviced residential apartments in London. Following the extensive restoration and redevelopment of the historic building, 8 Eaton Lane will be home to new residents, retail and restaurant occupiers.
The development is a joint venture with Bain Capital, to deliver a collection of 42 residences, world-class amenities, and carefully curated retail and restaurant spaces – all set to reinforce the area’s position as a leading residential, restaurant, office and tourist location.
Jonathan Eastwood, Head of Retail Agency Team at Knight Frank, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Bain Capital and CIT Group LLP on this landmark development. 8 Eaton Lane presents a rare opportunity to introduce a distinctive blend of retail and restaurant operators to one of London’s most desirable addresses. We look forward to bringing a carefully selected mix of occupiers to complement the quality and character of this stunning development. We expect to fully launch the space in late September 2025 and already have a list of enquiries.”
8 Eaton Lane (SW1) sits within one of London’s most affluent and architecturally significant neighbourhoods, offering a unique opportunity for premium retail and dining brands seeking a presence in a timeless location with strong footfall and connectivity.
