Kingsbridge Estates announces refurbishment plans for office building in Guildford
Developer Kingsbridge Estates has completed the £10.95 million acquisition of a prime office building in the heart of Guildford town centre from M&G Real Estate. Kingsbridge Estates has acquired the freehold of the property in joint venture with a private family office and plans to maintain the office use with future plans to undertake an extensive refurbishment to Grade A standard.
Greg Lukasiewicz, Investment Director at Kingsbridge Estates, said:
“There is currently very little office stock available in Guildford, which means we have a unique opportunity here to refurbish a site and deliver a best-in-class product to meet demand for Grade A town centre space.
Antony Leech of TT&G Partners and Derek Corden of Kingstons were agents for Kingsbridge Estates, while Sam Gibson of JLL acted for the vendor. Michelmores provided Kingsbridge legal advice on purchase and JV structuring, while Hogan Lovells LLP represented the seller, M&G Real Estate.
