The development fell to a private speculator, James Mellors, the builder of houses on <a href="/wiki/Whitehall" title="Whitehall">Parliament Street (Whitehall)</a>. Mellors was granted an act of parliament which stated "highly advantageous and convenient to the publick in general, as well as a great ornament to the antient City of Westminster, more especially if such houses only as are fit for the habitation of persons of fortune and distinction, were erected and built on each side of the said street". Mellors acquired land with the support of his lender, Samuel Cox. It took around three years to acquire the land and demolish existing buildings, most of the new four-storey brick houses were built by November 1755. They were slow to let and only six were occupied by the time of a 1757 ratebook, which is the first mention of Great George Street by name.
