Following a comprehensive refurbishment of both buildings, Liberty House and The Media Village are expected to open in mid-2020. Charlie Green, Co-CEO at TOG, said: “Two brilliant buildings in the middle of the West End is fantastic growth for us. “Liberty House kind of does all the work for us, given how beautiful it is and its prominence, and The Media Village will be completely repositioned to create an outstanding place to work.” TOG was established in 2003 by Green and Olly Olsen. In June 2017, Blackstone acquired a majority interest in the company from former chairman Lloyd Dorfman.
