The former Odeon Kensington Cinema, located at the western end of the Kensington High Street was acquired as part of the Minerva transaction in a joint venture with Ares Management in August 2011.

• The adjacent Post Office and Whitlock House sites were both subsequently acquired to further develop the site potential.

Planning permission for the proposed redevelopment to provide a 125,000 sq ft high-end residential led scheme (35 apartments and 8 houses) with associated retail, office building and a new 7-screen cinema in the basement was granted approval by the planning inspector in February 2016.

The combined sites at the Kensington were sold in October 2018.
