Refurbishment
Globeside, Building 2
Princes Arcade in St James’s is part of the Grade II listed building within which a major new restaurant unit has been created along with office, core and atrium refurbishment.
The two unit 161,000ft² Skyline development for SEGRO plc provides well connected Grade A logistics, distribution and warehousing facilities as it is adjacent to Heathrow Airport and the immediate motorway and rail networks.
Constructed on a design and build basis with the office accommodation fitted out to Category A standard, the project benefits from sustainability initiatives including LED lighting with occupancy detection and daylight dimming controls, solar thermal hot water heating, air source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels, all combining to provide an A rated EPC and a ‘Very Good’ rating under BREEAM New Construction 2014.

The project also involved the refurbishment of the reception space and improvement of the cycle store entrance and wayfinding at basement level.
The building at 55 Colmore Row has been refurbished to offer 150,000ft² of high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering, BREEAM duties and energy consultancy to achieve an BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC B rating.
Watkins Payne reviewed a number of mechanical and electrical options with the team, focusing on retention of key central plant, overhaul and replacement of plant where required, and LED lighting to reduce energy and improve the office environment.
