ROYAL LEPAGE Triland to relocate its London south office, currently on Wellington
By Mark Schadenberg
LONDON – I've followed the
development or re-development of the so-called SoHo neighbourhood of
London in previous posts. It was therefore great to see a personal
connection to the news of a Horton Street project having a
direct parallel to Royal LePage.
At our Royal LePage Triland 2015
kickoff breakfast and meeting on Monday morn it was officially
announced that in less than two years, the Triland London (south)
office (334 Wellington South) will be relocating to this more central Horton location (at
Waterloo Street) currently undergoing a massive facelift with the
refurbishing of the (Great Western Railway locomotive) Roundhouse,
along with a proposed (as high as) 25-storey residential and office
structure. The tech community (rTraction
and Neilson IT Consulting) have committed to apparently also be involved as far as tenant businesses focusing on
both the Roundhouse (built in 1880's) and adjoining construction
projects.
In recent years previously, this
railway turntable had been used as a steak house restaurant for more
than 30 years, but previous London Free Press stories note it's been
essentially vacant since 2006.
The stakes are high now (25 storeys) as
the builders focus on converting placards on easels into concrete,
mortar, drywall and steel beams.
Peter Meyer and Peter Hoffman (brokers)
of Royal LePage Triland conducted a news conference on Monday to unveil their
plans.
Creative Property Developments (London
property investors led by veteran London-area builder / developers
Slavko
Prtenjaca and Patrick Ambrogio) is the
consortium steering the project.
If you go by the real estate adage of
'location, location, location', this Horton Street locale is ideal as
London's next major development area is the nearby SoHo properties,
which included the old South Street Hospital demolition site and a
proposed new look along the Thames River.
Royal LePage Triland will be one of the
additional main tenants (read links below), which will in the long
run assist in attracting more businesses to this complex. In
commercial real estate, good news is the catalyst for even more
interest in a growth area.
The Creative Property group also has a
well-established spokesperson for the project in former London mayoral
candidate and 10-year city council member Roger Caranci, who is also
a Realtor with Royal LePage Triland.
Not far away to the west and still
south of the train underpass is a section of Wellington which already
has been gradually transformed in recent years as a gateway to the downtown core. First impressions are
integral, and I like what I am seeing.
