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 completed site now comprises four detached industrial warehouse units ranging from 14,000sq ft to 36,000sq ft, all with naturally ventilated and heated offices. The two larger units each have an 8 person MRL passenger lift, while the smaller units have been provided with platform lifts. The warehouse area was designed as a shell for future fit-out with capped off utility services.
The development at Portland House will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.
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 building has been transformed to provide a 133 bedroom hotel including car and cycle parking on site.
The Practice was responsible for the design and site monitoring of the related mechanical, electrical and public health services installation.
