The statement adds that the Oberoi Group will open a hotel on the corner of Brook Street in Mayfair, as part of the wider South Molton development.
The mixed use project will also feature housing, cafes, shops, restaurants, community and leisure spaces, and two office buildings across Brook Street and Davies Street, east of Grosvenor Square, near Bond Street Underground station.
