OWO is our largest redevelopment, it is the group’s commitment to Britain

‘London’s Old War Office complex will have residences, a hotel, restaurants, a spa’
The Hinduja Group recently put up its OWO Residences by Raffles, Europe’s first Raffles-branded residences, on the market. Targeted at ultra-high-net-worth individuals, who may aspire to own a piece of the Old War Office, the property’s redevelopment is set to be completed in 2022. We have a great liking for heritage buildings and we gained great experience in restoring Carlton House Terrace, which is our residence now. We have a good team in place under the company Westminster Development Services (WDS). This vertical will work on the development of heritage properties. My son Sanjay and my daughter-in-law Shalini (wife of Dheeraj Hinduja) have been actively involved in this project. We are already in negotiations with 2-3 more such iconic heritage properties. For the Hinduja family and the Group, this is our largest real estate redevelopment. The Old War Office (OWO) has seen many wars and bad times; our aim was to transform this into a destination of tolerance, peace and happiness. It’s a message to the people from us that it’s better to have peace, tolerance and happiness than war.
