Since 1993, Wilson McHardy has been the discreet force behind London’s most iconic luxury destinations. From re-profiling Mount Street to securing flagships for Gucci and Alexander McQueen, we offer unparalleled strategic advice to influential landlords and global brands.
Defining London’s Luxury Landscape Since 1993
We don’t just find buildings; we curate destinations. Since our first instruction at 31 Old Bond Street over three decades ago, Wilson McHardy has specialised in the strategic investment, development, and leasing of the world’s most prestigious retail environments.
Our philosophy is simple: to maintain the highest quality of advice, we secure selective instructions from influential clients. We operate with a level of confidentiality and discretion that the luxury market demands, acting as a bridge between world-class landlords and the most coveted international brands.
The Architects of Mount Street’s Transformation
In 2006, we saw a potential in Mount Street that others had overlooked. We proposed a vision to the Duke of Westminster’s estate (Grosvenor) to transform the area into a premier retail destination. Today, Mount Street is a global benchmark for luxury, and we are proud to have introduced brands including:
- Balenciaga
- Oscar de la Renta
- Lanvin
- Goyard
- The Row
Whether it is re-profiling the iconic Burlington Arcade or strategising the refurbishment of the Royal Exchange in the City of London, we have a proven track record of breathing new life into architectural monuments.
Strategic Advice for Global Icons
We act for both landlords and tenants, providing a 360-degree view of the market. Our mandates often involve long-term partnerships; we have advised Stella McCartney since her brand's launch in 2001 and have represented the Scheufele family (Chopard) since 1997.
"Impeccable market knowledge, proactive advice and tenacious follow up – a good client-agent partnership." — Sarah-Jane Curtis, formerly Director of Retail Investment, Grosvenor

Beyond the Transaction: The "Maison" Concept
We pride ourselves on innovation. We pioneered the "Maison Retail Concept" in London, transforming former townhouses in Carlos Place into flagship homes for brands like Jessica McCormack and the Kering Group. This approach—treating a retail space as a Parisian-style couture house—has redefined how luxury brands present themselves in the capital.
From securing off-market deals on Bond Street to navigating complex rent reviews and identifying the next big gallery space in St James’s, we provide the tenacious follow-up and deep market insight required to succeed in the high-stakes world of luxury property.
