Manhattan Loft Corporation, CEO and Founder | London, United Kingdom

About

Harry Handelsman is the CEO and Founder for Manhattan Loft Corporation, the design-led property company based in London. He’s behind the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, a 10-year labour of love that reinstated one of Britain’s greatest buildings, and the Chiltern Firehouse, one of London’s oldest fire stations reborn as its most talked-about venue.

Harry is renowned for changing London since the 90’s, bringing loft-style living to derelict areas including Clerkenwell, Bankside and Soho which helped lead the revival of the now established areas. Today, the loft apartments that began Harry’s legacy have been joined by film studios, fashion hubs, design hotels, office space and world-renowned restaurants.
