The South Bank is home to a number of London’s most popular attractions including the London Eye, London Bridge and Borough Market as well as amenities along the river which attract SIGNIFICANT footfall.

OVERVIEW Palace House is located on Cathedral Street in the thriving South Bank district of London adjacent to Borough Market and within a five minute walk of London Bridge which connects the South Bank to the City of London on the North Bank. Cathedral Street is an attractive cobbled pedestrianised street linking Montague Close and Clink Street. The property has a river frontage via St Mary Overie’s Dock, home to the Golden Hinde.

CONNECTIONS

The property benefits from excellent transport links. London Bridge station is within a five minute walk from Cathedral Street which provides access via the London Underground to Canary Wharf within six minutes, Bond Street in the West End within eight minutes and King's Cross within 11 minutes. The City and the Bank of England are a short walk across London Bridge. REGENERATION

There has been significant investment into regenerating the South Bank and the success of schemes such as Sea Containers House (pre-let to Oglivy and Mather), South Bank Central (pre-let to WeWork and DNV) and 240 Blackfriars Road (let to UBM and Boodle Hatfield amongst others) has helped cement the area as one of London’s fastest growing districts and most culturally diverse.

OCCUPIERS

The area continues to attract a mix of occupiers, ranging from multinational corporations to occupiers from sectors including media & tech, professional services, the public sector, serviced offices and banking. Large future developments such as Bankside Quarter (Temasek, Native Land and Amcorp Properties), Elizabeth House (HB Reavis) and eventually the redevelopment of Colechurch House near London Bridge station will further enhance the locality and its surrounds.

Strong occupational demand for South Bank has ensured it is one of London’s fastest growing sub-markets. The lack of prime Grade A space and continued shortage of supply ensures the South Bank now receives unprecedented interest from developers and occupiers alike as a consequence, particularly properties which are close to the river.

LOCATION PALACE HOUSE

With the earliest known records dating back to 1276, Borough Market is London’s Oldest Food Market.

It has been trading on the current site since 1756 and this extraordinary heritage makes it one of the most exciting attractions south of the river.

Borough Market is a source of British and International produce, and is London’s most renowned food and drink market. The market’s stalls, shops and restaurants reflect London’s status as a global city, with traditional British produce sitting alongside regional specialties from around the world.

It attracts significant numbers of locals and tourists, especially on weekends and remains one of London’s most visited attractions.

St Mary Overie Dock and the Golden Hinde

St Mary Overie Dock is home to The Golden Hinde an English galleon best known for her circumnavigation of the globe between 1577 and 1580, captained by Sir Francis Drake. This is the one full size replica still in existence in London, located within the tenure of Palace House.

The Golden Hinde replica dates from 1973 and since then she has travelled more than 140,000 miles (225,000 km). She has been in St Mary Overie Dock since 1996 where she is open to the public hosting a range of educational programmes.

Designed by the award-winning practice SPPARC Architecture, the 190,200 sq ft Borough Yards scheme is scheduled to open in early 2020. In addition to office accommodation, Borough Yards will provide more than 115,600 sq ft (10,740 sq m) of retail and leisure space.

The Office Group will occupy Thames House and an adjacent building, taking a total of 68,500 sq ft (6,364 sq m), while the new building will incorporate a 6,100 sq ft (567 sq m) Everyman cinema.

The project involves the redevelopment of former wine-tasting venue Vinopolis and neighbouring sites, which front onto the pedestrian path linking the Tate Modern to the west with Borough Market, London Bridge Station and The Shard, close by to its east.

As part of the redevelopment, a new pedestrian lane (Dirty Lane) will create access from Park Street to Bank End. Borough Yards will re-introduce some of the area’s original Elizabethan street names, such as Clink Yard and Soap Yard, celebrating the site’s heritage.

Over 100,000 sq ft of new retail on Clink Street to include 35 retail units and 10 restaurants

Winchester Palace

Winchester Palace was one of the largest and most important buildings in medieval London. Founded in the 12th century by Bishop Henry de Blois, brother of King Stephen, it was built to house the bishops in comfort when they visited London.

The remaining ruins which form part of the old Great Hall, some of which are incorporated into the fabric of the building of Palace House, were revealed in the 1980s and are protected by English Heritage.

Infrastructure Improvements

London Bridge reopened in January 2018 marking the completion of the £1bn redevelopment after more than five years of work. Since work began in 2013, London Bridge has been transformed by Network Rail as part of the government-sponsored Thameslink Programme, while remaining open for the 50 million passengers that use London’s oldest station each year. The vast new concourse, larger than the pitch at Wembley, unites all fifteen platforms for the first time and modern facilities make the landmark station fully accessible for all with step free access to every platform. There are two new entrances on Tooley Street, which will connect the north and south sides of the station, while the completion of the five new platforms will allow Cannon Street services to once again stop at London Bridge. The tracks through and around the station have been entirely remodelled to modernise the infrastructure and to allow more trains to travel through London, reducing delays and bringing more reliable journeys to more destinations than ever before. Throughout 2018 new shops, cafés and leisure facilities will open, fuelling the reinvigoration of the area. Within 10 minutes of the property is London Waterloo Station. It is one of the busiest railway stations in Europe, providing more than half a million passenger journeys a day and 230 million a year. The station is currently being upgraded to enhance passenger capacity by 30%. This is to be done by rebuilding the former Waterloo International terminal, reconfiguring platforms and extending various platforms to house longer trains with more cars. Various supporting shops, restaurants and other facilities will be incorporated into the upgrade works which are scheduled to complete in December 2018.

Consideration has also been given to a comprehensive redevelopment of the site creating a new building comprising approximately 80,834 sq ft (7,509 sq m) of net internal area as set out below:

Total 80,833 7,509

The feasibility study for the new build scheme can be accessed on the data room.

In the short term additional value can be created by converting the undercroft parking at ground floor level into retail or leisure use. SODA architects have produced a scheme which illustrates that between 1,356 sq ft (126 sq m) and 2,077 sq ft (193 sq m) of additional retail space could be created. The total amount of additional area created will depend on the repositioning of the sub-station. SODA have also explored a number of longer term options to add massing through the rationalisation and extension of the 5th floor. An indicative CGI has been produced by Silver Shadow Studio to illustrate these options.

Palace House offers immediate opportunities to add value as well as longer term potential to increase the massing to almost double the existing net area.

South Bank Market

The South Bank office market remains one of Central London’s strongest performing sub-markets. Take-up in 2017 surpassed the long term average with approximately 1.3m sq ft leased across the year. Availability is amongst the lowest across any sub-market in Central London with only 725,000 sq ft of stock available and a vacancy rate of c.2.8%.

The professional sectors remain the dominant type of occupier however the South Bank has also seen a growth in the TMT sector particularly in the areas around Union Street and Great Suffolk Street. With schemes like Borough Yards expected to enhance the retail and amenity offering closer to the River we also expect rents in this immediate location to increase.

Excluding the Shard which has achieved lettings in excess of £100.00psf, prime office rents south of the river are now consistently in excess of £70.00psf, as exemplified by recent lettings within the Blue Fin Building, 240 Blackfriars and the breakdown in rents for the upper floors at HB Reavis' Cooper & Southwark Building.

The table below sets out investment transactions across Central London with a similar leasing profile to the subject property;

OCCUPATIONAL INVESTMENT

According to Union Street Partners total investment volumes on the South Bank totaled around £2.2bn in 2017, approximately 350% up on 2016. Institutional investor interest has been driven by a strengthening occupational market and lack of good quality supply.

As the sub-market matures and the impact of the improvement to infrastructure to London Bridge and Waterloo stations starts to be felt by local occupiers, it is anticipated that demand will increase throughout 2018, particularly from overseas buyers.

In-fact overseas investors accounted for c.63% of investments into the South Bank in Q4 2017, a total of £266m (up c.20% from the previous three years), reinforcing the increasing attractiveness of the location as a core London sub-market.
