In 2013, renovation of the main house was completed. Originally it was planned to convert both St. Helen's House and the Pearson Building into a luxury hotel, with an adjoining crescent of new apartments. Due to the economic situation in 2011 this plan was changed, and it was decided to convert the building into an office instead.[2]
Renovation of the Pearson Building began in 2020 to convert its ground and first floors into commercial units and the upper floor into apartments.[3]
In 2019 several of the associated building were demolished to make way for the Kings Crescent Apartments.[4]
