4 HATTON GARDEN 07 LOCATION Midtown is one of London s most exciting areas and growth locations. Enjoying a rich business biodiversity and increasing popularity, the area has blossomed with substantial tenant demand drawn by its expanding amenity and unrivalled access. The area attracts a broad range of occupiers particularly favoured by tenants from the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector drawn to its unique building stock and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Tenants such as Mindshare, Dreamworks, Warner Brothers, Publicis Group, GDF Suez and Bell Pottinger are all located nearby. Some of the world s most influential corporations are also in close proximity including the headquarters of Amazon, Deloitte and Goldman Sachs. The Goldman Sachs Headquarters, currently being developed totalling 1 million sq ft, and the landmark 700,000 sq ft development of New Street Square, home to the headquarters of Deloitte and Taylor Wessing, are immediately to the south. Hatton Garden itself has an international reputation as the centre of London s jewellery industry. Established in the late 19th Century, today it is one of the finest and most renowned jewellery locations in the world with over 300 businesses and 55 retail units dedicated to the trade. It is also home to London s diamond bourse which is located opposite and acts as a significant catalyst for office and retail demand. The increasingly varied workforce has attracted a new breed of hoteliers and restauranteurs who have colonised the area in recent years. The majority have migrated from the fashionable areas of Shoreditch and Hoxton which illustrates the areas growing profile. Further examples of the growing amenity include Bounce table tennis bar and restaurant, the ever popular Leather Lane market and the soon to open Gym Box on Leather Lane which will help continue grow street activity and footfall.

14 HATTON GARDEN 27 MARKET COMMENTARY Office Occupational Retail Occupational Investment Central London take up reached almost 15 million sq ft in 2015, one of the highest on record and significantly above the long term trend. Together with the wider central London market, Midtown has continued in the same vein of increasing tenant demand and an acceleration in take up against a back drop of limited supply which has driven rental growth. With a Grade A vacancy rate of only 3.3%, and with a shortage of suitable office space in the West End combined with the high total occupancy costs, there is an established trend of occupiers looking to Midtown as an attractive alternative. Midtown has long been an established location for Professional, Financial and Legal occupiers especially the latter due to its proximity to the Law Courts and Inns of Court. However, numerous high quality developments have led to an influx of occupiers from the City and West End. In particular tenants from the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector have been attracted to Midtown by a combination of unique accommodation and cosmopolitan atmosphere. With a greatly improving amenity and the arrival of Crossrail in 2018, the area is set to further enhance its reputation as one of London s creative capitals. Prime headline rents on Hatton Garden have recently achieved per sq ft. With a passing office rent of only per sq ft, the property is highly reversionary and offers an excellent opportunity to take advantage of forecasted rental growth with a lease expiry in Midtown is in high demand from retailers seeking to take advantage of the growing worker, visitor and resident footfall. Hatton Garden itself is one of the world s oldest and most revered jewellery destinations and as such operates as a market in its own right. Comparable transactions are limited as historically Hatton Garden has benefitted from exceptionally low vacancy rates, especially along the southern and prime section of the street which the subject property forms part. Characteristically Hatton Garden provides smaller units ideally suiting the jewellery tenants wanting representation on the street. When units become available they are fiercely contested usually attracting rental premiums and setting new headline levels. Recently the Wonder Gallery let Hatton Garden for a 15 year term at a rent of 200,000 p.a. with a 7 months rent free incentive reflecting a rent of 165 Zone A. In addition, Leather Lane which usually operates at a significant discount to Hatton Garden, has recently achieved 160 ZA and is expected to achieve in excess of this figure over the next 6 months. The 3 retail units in 8-10 Hatton Garden reflect an average of 111 ZA showing a strong reversion and excellent prospects for growth in this prime section of the street. Central London investment transactions reached 18 billion in 2015 making it one of the most active years on record and significantly higher than the 10 year annual average. London continues to remain the world s number one destination for real estate investment. London is perceived as a safe haven for overseas investors due to a transparent and competitive market, established legal system and political stability. Investors have been eager to secure London assets offering excellent rental and capital growth prospects. Landlords in the area have been looking to hold assets to benefit from the expected positive impacts and rental benefits of Crossrail which is due to open in As a result investment availability in the heart of Farringdon and Midtown remains constrained.
