Brook Street runs through the heart of Mayfair, one of the most exclusive districts in the West End of London. Mayfair is internationally recognised as Central London’s most prestigious and sought after office location.
Bounded by Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the east, Piccadilly to the south and Park Lane to the west, Mayfair sits in the core of London’s West End.
Mayfair is characterised by its attractive mix of period and modern buildings, providing a range of high quality office accommodation and residential dwellings. The desirability of this location to office occupiers is further enhanced by the high quality retail provision in and around Bond Street, South Molton Street and Mount Street.
Luxury retailers include Louis Vuitton, Dunhill, Chanel and Christian Louboutin. Hotels and restaurants including Claridge’s, The Connaught, Nobu, Cipriani and La Petite Maison are all located within a short walking distance.
Mayfair’s prestigious location has attracted a high number of corporate occupiers to the area including: Perella Weinberg Partners, Kleinwort Benson, BlueBay Asset Management, Qatari Diar, Blackstone, Condé Nast, Lazard and Estée Lauder.
The property is very well served by public transport, being situated within a short walking distance (200m) of Bond Street Underground Station (Central and Jubilee lines) to the north, Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines) to the north east and Green Park (Piccadilly, Jubilee and Victoria lines) to the south. Regular mainline train services from Paddington and Victoria provide rapid access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with services every 15 minutes. London City Airport and St Pancras International Station (from where Eurostar services to Continental Europe operate) are accessible within approximately 45 minutes and 10 minutes respectively.
The Crossrail network is currently under construction and this will significantly improve communication links in the area. The new rail network, with an expected completion date of 2018, will provide high frequency and direct access to Heathrow in the west and Canary Wharf in the east. There will be direct commuter access through Central London with Crossrail stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf, increasing London’s existing underground capacity by 10%. Bond Street’s western ticket halls will be located only 100m from 73 Brook Street.

MARKET COMMENTARYOccupational Market
Occupational confidence in the core West End office market remains high. There continues to be strong demand for new or refurbished units and especially those of 2,000 - 3,000 sq ft. Rents in excess of £100.00 per sq ft are being achieved on the best quality office space in the most sought after locations.
Rental growth is expected to resume in 2013 driven by the limited supply pipeline and low levels of availability throughout Mayfair as demand from tenants for the highest quality accommodation continues.
Grade A vacancy in Mayfair and St James’s stands at 4.1% against the ten year average of 4.4% and is forecast to reduce further due to the significant number of office to residential schemes that have or are being consented.

Investment Market
2012 saw £5.8 billion invested in London’s West End office market, the highest turnover since the financial crisis and the third highest on record. Investors have continued to concentrate on assets in core locations, relishing the opportunity to invest in this highly liquid and transparent market with strong rental growth prospects.
Overseas investors accounted for circa 65% of all transactions in 2012 with overseas capital forecast to continue to flood into London. Investors are attracted by the quality of assets available, high quality tenants, limited supply pipeline and the favourable exchange rates available.
West End prime office yields currently stand at 4.00% and have been at this level since 2009. The number of investors actively pursuing the limited number of assets being openly marketed will maintain pressure on prime yields.
