McAleer takes the Swiss

British Land has sold the Swiss Centre in Leicester Square, London WC2, to Northern Irish property developers McAleer & Rushe for a reported £47m. The most likely fate for the striking, but ugly, 9,300 sq m (100,000 sq ft) building is redevelopment into a mixed-used office and leisure complex. The new building is likely to include a hotel and recently the Irish hotel chain Jurys Doyle was linked to the site. It is worth noting that McAleer is Jurys regular contractor for its UK based hotels and should McAleer included a hotel in its plans then it is not unreasonable to hazard a guess as to who the operator will be. McAleer is declining to comment at this early stage. Jones Lang LaSalle represented British Land. - (25-10-2004)

Canary looks to Tarmac site

Canary Wharf Consortium, the property developer, is said to be looking to buy a site from Tarmac to extend its 13.5m sq ft office scheme. Tarmac's office complex is at the western end of Heron Quays and was one of the first 'high-tech' developments in the Docklands area in the mid 1980's. It is now thought that the site could now accommodate an office development of over 1 million sq ft. Canary Wharf recently extended its ownership by buying a 6.7-acre site to the north of the main office complex. - (25-08-2001)

Mayor agrees Lehman Brothers scheme

The mayor of London decided not to direct London Borough of Hackney to refuse the Northgate project, designed by Sidell Gibson for Lehman Brothers. In the decision letter the mayor has said that the 17-storey office and retail development "would contribute to London's global city role". However the mayor also said that he will ensure that the scheme, and the adjoining scheme planned by Railtrack, to not compromise each other when he considers the Railtrack proposals. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) is thought to be concerned that Hackney failed to consult it on the proposals, which CABE says are "incompatible" with the Railtrack proposals and should be refused. - (02-06-2001)

Waterloo 'future' is 4.3m sq ft of offices

The Waterloo area could see the development of over 400,000 sq m (4.3 million sq ft) of office space in the future, under a new unitary development plan being discussed by London Borough of Lambeth. The council has just published an 'issues' paper about the future of the north of the borough and particularly the redevelopment plans for Waterloo mainline station. In the past local resident groups have fiercely opposed office development in the area, particularly the office and retail schemes for the Coin Street put forward by Greycoat in the 1980's. - (08-05-2001)

Victoria plans revived

Plans by Railtrack to redevelop the major rail interchanges in central London continues apace. A £250m mixed-use redevelopment scheme for Victoria Station, London SW1, first mooted in the mid-1990's, is being revived. Railtrack is said to be working on a revised masterplan for the Victoria site, which could see an office and retail development of about 46,451 sq m (500,000 sq ft) built at the station. The latest scheme seems likely to integrate a new bus terminal within the scheme with offices above. In addition to the Victoria proposals Railtrack is currently working on plans for 'office-led' mixed-use schemes at Paddington, London Bridge, Kings Cross and with Pillar at Cricklewood, north London. There have also been rumours of investigations by Railtrack on the potential of redeveloping at Waterloo. At Victoria, Railtrack is said to be about to undertake a study, along with other developers with schemes in the area, to assess the level of demand. The developers could include Land Securities, Grosvenor Estate, and Howard Ronson International. The total future potential of developments in the Victoria area amount to over 1.5m sq ft of office space. An end-user 'demand' survey would be no doubt be helpful as at present everyone seems to be chasing Enron, the US energy company, which has the largest known West End requirement. - (26-03-2001)

Strategic thinking

The strategic plan for London will recommend a massive redevelopment to the north-east and east of the City according to deputy mayor Nicky Gavron. The spatial development strategy will rethink London's transport provision and could support the regeneration of land in the Lee Valley and Thames Gateway areas. The main strategic policies are due to be published in a consultation document in April, with a more detailed draft by the end of 2001, and a final version ready in by late 2002. - (25-03-2001)

Canary Wharf assembles land bank
