Verde SW1 wins twice at the UK Property Awards
On Friday the 27(th) of October, Verde SW1, the building
completed for Tishman Speyer in London's Victoria earlier this
year, won awards for Best Office Development and Best Office
Architecture at the UK Property Awards at the Royal Lancaster
London Hotel.
Verde SW1 has 282,000sq.ft of Grade 'A' office space, and
features a dramatic triple height reception, roof gardens totalling
20,000sq.ft and a dedicated cycle access ramp. This all contributed
to the success in letting the building with occupancy approaching
90% and tenants including Dimension Data, Pret a Manger and
Waitrose. The level of demand is evidence of the design excellence
and commercial appeal of the building.
The building, which was redeveloped from the former Eland House,
retained 80% of the existing structure and saved 11,600 tonnes of
carbon in development. These characteristics, along with the
building's BREEAM 'Excellent' rating, have lent the development
excellent environmental credentials, which have also increased its
appeal to potential occupiers.
Aukett Swanke Group CEO Nicholas Thompson said:
'It gives us enormous pleasure to report on the plaudits from
our peers for the work being produced within our studio for yet
another major building in the West End, this time for Tishman
Speyer. Its appeal to occupiers follows in the footsteps of another
recent completion with the Adelphi Building for Blackstone having
achieved 100 % occupancy just over one month ago.'
Dan Nicholson, Managing Director of Tishman Speyer UK, said:
"We are absolutely delighted that Verde SW1 has won two such
prestigious awards. This accolade is recognition of the role Verde
SW1 is playing in transforming Victoria. The building continues to
attract tenants and we recently announced two new leases with
Dimension Data and TP ICAP, bringing occupancy in the building to
86%."
