A contract for the acquisition of the Freehold was exchanged. A detailed planning application was drawn up with MAKE architects and successfully negotiated with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the GLA.

A resolution to grant planning permission with a S106 was then obtained.

The scheme consists of 414 residential units in 2 towers of 30 and 35 storeys above a replacement McDonalds restaurant and 2 further retail units.

Further refinements to the planning permission were granted  and the site was sold with the benefit of planning  to Essential Living to be developed and held as a residential rental investment.

We achieved a planning consent for the change of use of the building and led a fixed price construction contract through a 2 stage tender process.

The scheme was built out over 18 months and quickly sold.

The freehold was then sold to an investor the following year.

We were asked to appraise the asset and to recommend how best to maximise the return from the building for ING’s Lionbrook Property Fund.

The decision was made to undertake a full strip out and refurbishment programme so that the building could be put back into economic use in the shortest possible time-frame.

In order to manage risk, following a competitive bidding process, a management agreement was agreed with GoNative prior to start on site.

We managed the team and full refurbishment works having let the construction contract through a single stage competitive tender process.

The building was handed back on time and has since outperformed expected occupancy and rents.

We provided a viability analysis of the best use of this attractive listed office building for CBREi’s Lionbrook Property Fund.

The decision was made to convert the property to residential and SB2 achieved a planning consent for residential use from the City of London.

Subsequently CBREi decided to convert and hold the investment as serviced apartments and we managed the detailed design and construction contract through to completion.

A management agreement for the building was then signed with GoNative  to manage the serviced apartments on behalf of the fund and the flats have proved very popular due to the excellent location and unique setting.

Back to Case Studies

The scheme consists of 39 residential units in single 4 storey building.

The sale of the site to London and Quadrant Housing Association was then completed.
