10 Brock Street is an office development designed by WilkinsonEyre and HalcrowYolles for British Land. The distinctive 16 storey development occupies a key site fronting onto Euston Road and forms the centre piece of the regeneration of the Regent's Place estate. The new building sits at one end of Regent’s Place, stepping up to the existing Euston Tower and is the current home to Facebook, Debenhams and Manchester City FC. The design was led by one of the Partners of CRE8 Structures when he was the Principal at HalcrowYolles London office and the building was completed in 2014 prior to setting CRE8 Structures up.

The scheme provides 49,000m² of grade A office accommodation along with retail and cultural space at ground floor level, all arranged around three blocks with inclined facades and roof spaces. The original plan for the building was developed in 2003 and due to a pause caused by the financial crisis was revisited in 2009 by the design team and a more commercially efficient space was created by moving the main core to the north and introducing a new, lateral atrium. This created a large eccentricity to the main lift core which was overcome by an ingenious use of a wind frame at the southern end of the building. This allowed the floor plates facing south across the plaza to Euston Road to be opened up across the full width of the building. It also created a much larger space for the entrance lobby, which acts as a continuation of the large public square in front of the building. The large open spans were achieved by long span plate girders with holes through them for service penetrations. Fire protection was provided by the use of intumescent paint throughout.

The pursuit of sustainable development in the building is demonstrated through the building's BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.
