New Office Scheme Unveiled In London
A new 242,000 sq ft office-based scheme has been launched in the Hammersmith area of London.
The Legal & General / Mitsubishi Estate London property at 245 Hammersmith Road boasts 11 floors of flexible, collaborative space that is built to inspire and connect people both inside and outside the building.
Designed by architects Sheppard Robson, the development puts a real emphasis on sustainability. The scheme has delivered a total of £28 million of social value to the community, during and following its construction, according to a research project, jointly funded with the BCO. This social value has been delivered by promoting a diverse range of local skills and employment within the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, creating opportunities for local businesses and social enterprise, enabling a stronger and healthier community, and protecting and improving the surrounding environment.
The design has incorporated new green spaces which will be open to the public. Offering restaurants, retail, a new public plaza and a secluded urban park, this public realm will help to transform this area of Hammersmith.
Simon Wilkes, Head of Business Space Development, LGIM Real Assets, said: "245 Hammersmith Road is a bold and game changing scheme for Hammersmith and Fulham which has created millions of pounds of social value. The building has delivered a new standard of office space with unparalleled amenity for occupiers and the local community, including a new plaza and urban parks. The building has extensive shared workspace as part of its inviting entrance area, creating a stimulating workplace which nurtures wellbeing and looks to inspire and connect its future occupiers, as well as the whole community who can enjoy the large green spaces."
The first and second floors of the building, totalling 28,000 sq ft, have been leased to Hana, a new flexible space solution and subsidiary of CBRE Group, Inc.
Andrew Kupiec, CEO of Hana, added: "Hana is thrilled to bring our unique flexible space solution to 245 Hammersmith in partnership with Legal & General and Mitsubishi Estate. 245 Hammersmith is a perfect fit for Hana's welcoming and sophisticated flexible workspace befitting high-growth and enterprise companies."
