TERRACE HILL LETS THREE FLOORS AT 129 WILTON ROAD, VICTORIA
Terrace Hill Group plc (AIM: THG), a leading UK property development and investment group, announces that it has let a further 24,352 sq ft of office space at its mixed-use development, 129 Wilton Road, Victoria, meaning that a total of 88% of the office space has now been leased.
Terrace Hill has let the entire first, second and third floors of the building, comprising a total of 24,352 sq ft, to IQPC, a leading global business conference organiser, on a 15-year lease with tenant's breaks at five and 10 years at a rent of £40 per sq ft. Along with its sister company, WBR, IQPC is due to relocate from its current offices on Britten Street in Chelsea. The remaining floor of 8,100 sq ft is also under offer.
Completed by Terrace Hill in 2008, the scheme, which sits on the site of a former 1960s office and car park, comprises eight storeys of prime Grade A office and retail space, and a 20-space car park, as well as a 12-storey residential block to the rear which was sold on completion.
Philip Leech, Chief Executive of Terrace Hill, comments:
"This important letting reflects the improving occupier sentiment in London's West End and Victoria office markets and will contribute significantly to shareholder value in our business."
Edward Charles and Cushman & Wakefield advised Terrace Hill, whilst Northam Clover acted for IQPC.
