Jacob Loftus has built up what has got to be one of the strangest property portfolios in Britain. A former MI5 bunker, a film studio and a former Wool worths HQ are among the handful of projects that the 33-year-old has taken on since founding his company General Projects in 2016. Today, he is taking Property Week around another of his atypical developments - two sites, in fact, that he is stitching into one. We are in Clerkenwell, on the edge of the City of London, where he is turning a former gin distillery and a decommissioned bank HQ into a singular 74,000 sq ft office block called Technique. Loftus himself is not hard to spot, his swept-back hair and neat navy-blue jacket standing out against the rubble and dust around us.
