New theatre forms part of Crossrail project
London's 'newest West End theatre' in more than 10 years is to be created as part of plans for the redevelopment of the Tottenham Court Road area unveiled by Crossrail.
Three planning applications have now been lodged with Westminster City Council, covering four sites on the corner of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road.
AHMM are behind designs for the first two sites, which features a new theatre on the site of the former Astoria site as part of two nine-storey mixed-use buildings and a public realm.
Hawkins Brown architects are responsible for plans for the two remaining sites, which is set to comprise housing and retail accommodation as part of an "over-site development".
Proposals have been drawn up in conjunction with Derwent Holdings, which has secured an agreement with venue operator Nimax Theatres to manage the new 350-seat property.
Crossrail land and property director Ian Lindsay said: "These development plans will enhance Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road as a thriving cultural and retail destination.
"Crossrail will be submitting further above ground development planning applications for other station sites in central London over the coming months including at Bond Street and Farringdon."
