Having quietly landed two major lettings at Hammersmith Embankment, Arlington has announced bold plans for the riverside scheme that it’s renaming as Manbré Wharf, reflecting the site’s rich history as the home of Manbré & Garton’s Saccharine Works.
Advised by Hanover Green and BNP PRE, Arlington has secured a double letting success at Waterfront, Hammersmith Embankment with two occupiers taking a combined 40,000 sq ft.
In what is believed to be the largest office lettings in west London for several months, nutritional supplement brand Juice Plus+ has acquired 26,000 sq ft on the 3rd floor after signing a 10-year lease, while medical software company CRF has acquired 14,000 sq ft on the ground floor, also on a ten-year lease.
Arlington has followed this success by putting proposals out to public consultation for a major overhaul of the development that will see the creation of a new building called Refinery on the site of Riverside. Alongside their plans for Refinery, Arlington will be completely remodelling the riverside park and introducing new amenities to the scheme, including business lounges, cafés, restaurants, a fitness suite and penthouse club room.
Daniel Pagella, Commercial Director of Arlington said: “Manbré Wharf has a unique and completely under-utilised riverside setting that looks out over the Harrods Depository and Hammersmith Bridge. The plans we’re announcing today represent a very substantial investment in the scheme that will give it the sense of identity it deserves, making the most of the location and creating a truly exciting and unrivalled destination. We’re delighted that Juice Plus and CRF have chosen to join us at the perfect time to enjoy the benefits”
