Developers also planned on putting up two commercial areas in the former storage area, a coffee shop, and upmarket gallery. There are many additions in general to the decorations, but the ticket office and entrance to the building of the cruise line will be conserved in their former state. The building’s location and architecture were at the heart of London’s luxury shipping and travel industries in the early 21th century.

The 30,000 sqft Oceanic House grade II listed building was designed by architect Henry Tanner as a headquarters for the White Star Line in 1903. The building that houses the company behind the Ill-fated titanic has also been home to the Ministry of Defense, Barclays Bank, and the Texas Embassy, a popular restaurant and promotional center for the state. Soon, it would be home to those who can afford to pay £5million, the cost of a two-bedroom luxury apartment. The two-bedroom apartment is the cheapest according to the developer as the plushier options are retailed close to $100 million.
Buyers of the apartment will not just purchase a place to call their own but a piece of Titanic history and pride of living in a historic building. Aside from the features mentioned earlier, the purchasers of the Titanic’s home will also have access to a variety of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge service.
