Billionaire property investors David and Simon Reuben won approval to convert a London office building near Buckingham Palace into an eight-bedroom mansion with swimming pool, sauna and staff quarters.
The brothers will be allowed to extend 139 Piccadilly in Mayfair and turn it into a single home with about 1,655 square meters (17,800 square feet) of space, the Westminster borough council decided in a 4-0 vote at a meeting on Tuesday. The home will be almost 20 times the size of the average U.K. residence, according to data compiled by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
