Uxbridge: Belmont is £30m office rebuild 'to rival central London'
Aviva Investors has launched Belmont, a speculatively redeveloped 125,000 sq ft office in the centre of Uxbridge. The £30 million, 18-month redevelopment works saw the building stripped back to its frame and rebuilt to create a grade A office scheme in the heart of the west London town centre.
The five-storey building averages 26,500 sq ft floorplates. Belmont has been designed to suit either a sole corporate occupier or operate as a multi-let development.
Belmont is a two minute walk to Uxbridge tube station with neighbours including Coca Cola and Xerox. The scheme which received full planning consent in June 2015, has included an additional fifth floor, two roof terraces and a full height atrium.
In addition, 171 secure basement car parking space and 116 cycle bays are provided.
Julian Cobourne, senior asset manager at Aviva Investors, said: “The scheme has fulfilled our expectations and exceeded them, with a quality to rival a Central London standard of finish, and we will be setting the quoting rent at £37.50 per sq ft.”
He added: “From the beginning, our vision of Belmont has been to construct the very best office development that Uxbridge has to offer. One of the crucial elements of this design and construction was to ensure the floor plates are flexible enough to offer the building to a sole occupier or enable it to be multi-let. Our team’s impeccable attention to design means that Belmont can be divided vertically or horizontally with relative ease, allowing us to offer self-contained office spaces starting from 5,000 sq ft."
The building is owned by the Aviva Linked Property Fund and it has been in the portfolio for over 20 years. The architect is TP Bennett and the contractor is McLaren.
The building was previously the home for many years of AIB and Herbal Life.
