Royal LePage Triland finds a new London home

Former railway roundhouse is hub for proposed 3-phase project
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.
