End-of-year data from Stiles Harold Williams demonstrates the firm’s Agency Division disposed of 2,223,949 sq ft of offices & industrial space across the South East in 2015/16.
This is an area more than half the size of the world’s largest building, Boeing’s Everett plant in Seattle, (4.3million sq ft) – which is where 747’s are constructed and so large it has its own internal weather system. To give the figure a more UK-centric perspective, we transacted twice the area of the O2 Arena, the country’s biggest building.
SHW co-ordinated sales, lettings and acquisitions of 1,698,378 sq ft in Sussex alone, a volume of business which recently won us the Estate’s Gazettes title of the county’s most active agent for the fourth year running.
Notable deals included:
· Leonardo Building, Manor Royal (office let) – 110,000 sq ft
· Artex Complex, Newhaven – 46,000 sq ft (sale) – 46,000 sq ft
· Metro Point, Croydon (PDR Conversion) – 40,000 sq ft
Tim Hardwicke, Head of Agency for SHW said: “It’s great to be able to make a difference, both in terms of volume and the number of individual deals across the region, especially in a prevailing market which arguably has been affected by pre-Referendum caution.”
