CHALLENGE
The landlord wanted to future-proof this building, originally developed in 2008, to a Grade A office specification, in order to maintain its value and continue to attract tenants.
SOLUTION
We carried out a net zero pathway and EPC analysis of the building to plan interventions, which would enhance the asset and align with both the tenants’ and market requirements. Due to the age of the building and adjacent new City developments, we produced a ‘future-proofing’ concept for the building, combining technical and commercial recommendations. This was focused on a ‘value defence’ approach with the aim of retaining existing and attracting new tenants. We are currently delivering project management and engineering design services for a £15m phased central plant replacement over 2 years.
RESULTS
Our team is successfully managing the delivery of a complex multidisciplinary instruction of varying interlinking services to meet the client’s objectives. As a result of the project work, the EPC rating is expected to improve from an E to a B, delivering a 40% reduction in energy. The existing tenants are currently in negotiations to re-gear leases as part of the enhanced letting strategy.
