Approximate travel time from Paddington via Crossrail.

CROSSRAIL

Crossrail will provide a new high frequency, high capacity east /west rail link servicing London and the South East. An estimated 200 million passengers are expected to travel on Crossrail each

year, with London’s rail capacity set to increase by 10% as a result.

Paddington station is currently used by over 60,000 passengers every day and this is set to increase with the arrival of Crossrail. In anticipation of this increase in passenger numbers, Paddington station is set to benefit from extensive improvement works and the construction of a new Hammersmith & City line station.

The construction of Crossrail has been a catalyst for large-scale regeneration works in Paddington with the surrounding area currently undergoing extensive commercial development, enhanced public spaces and improved local amenities.

CROSSRAIL IS EUROPE’S LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT AND IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION IN 2018.

WEST END OFFICE MARKET COMMENTARY

The West End office market is experiencing strong levels of take-up driven by the economy and occupier confidence.

Q4 2015 saw the highest levels of take up in 12 years, with 1.4m sq ft of space taken, including Facebook confirming its pre-let of 217,000 sq ft at Rathbone Square. A high level of pre-letting activity (30% of total take-up) has meant that the West End has outperformed all other UK markets in the final quarter of 2015. This breadth of underlying demand is reflected in the West End vacancy rate of just 2.9%, a 15 year low. The average West End Grade A rent currently stands at £77.50 per sq ft.

Marylebone is a popular location for a diverse range of office occupiers, who are attracted not only by the discount to core Mayfair and St James’s but also by the various amenities offered and the atmosphere of Marylebone Village.

BNP Paribas are a major occupier in the immediate vicinity of The Grove – they own and occupy two buildings on Harewood Avenue, more than c. 400,000 sq ft – having recently undertaken an extensive refurbishment of one of their properties. They also occupy 36,500 sq ft at Woolworth House, Marylebone Road.

The significant development pipeline within Marylebone and Paddington is also a factor in forward-thinking businesses looking to relocate to this area with the arrival of Crossrail in 2018 at Paddington and Bond Street stations proving a big pull.

INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENTARY

The central London investment market remains one of the most sought after and liquid real estate markets in the world. The strong fundamentals of an established legal system, excellent

transport communications and infrastructure, unparalleled leisure and retail amenities, a skilled labour pool and excellent global positioning attract occupiers from across the world. This is evidenced by the majority of Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies locating headquarters within London. The diverse occupier base within the capital, combined with a limited supply of investment opportunities, consistently attracts a wide range of both domestic and international buyers, including institutional, corporate and private investors, who perceive London as a safe-haven for their equity. This has resulted in London being the world’s most traded city over the past four years.

THE WEST END INVESTMENT MARKET

West End investment volumes in 2015 totalled c. £9.3bn, a 12.6% increase on 2014 levels. With the forecast of strengthening occupational markets and restricted occupational supply, it is anticipated that the West End investment market will continue to witness strong levels of demand as 2016 progresses. The market continues to show strong demand for high quality assets in central London locations, particularly for multi-let assets offering strong rental growth prospects and asset management opportunities. This, combined with the weight of capital, competition for assets and forecast rental growth has increased investor appetite to move up the risk curve in order to boost returns. Sustained demand for the key West End sub-markets coupled with limited supply, are expected to continue to place pressure on prime yields which currently stand at c. 3.50%.
