Clearbell Capital redevelops Kodak’s original European headquarters

The grade II-listed building was built in 1911 for Kodak and was London’s first purpose-built, open-plan office block with an ancillary lab and photographic rooms. The building is composed of 70,000 square feet of grade A office accommodation over eight stories.
