A SUPERIOR LOCATION

In the heart of London

The property is located within the prime central London area of Kensington within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The building is situated on the south side of Kensington High Street and to the west of the junction with Allen Street, with the rear of the building overlooking the grand mansion buildings of Wynnstay Gardens.

Kensington High Street is both a local and international retail thoroughfare, with a mix of independent cafes and restaurants alongside well known fashion brands. The street benefits from nearby attractions such as Kensington Palace, Holland Park and the new Design Museum (opening November 2016). Two of the few large scale hotels in central London are located to the south of Kensington High Street, making it an attractive base for overseas visitors.

Due to the wealthy local residents, popularity with tourists and easy access to Central London, Kensington High Street benefits from a vibrant leisure and retail offer which blends local independent business with international brands.

The Design Museum

Located approximately 300m to the north west of the subject property is the site of the new Design Museum, due to open in late 2016. The museum will be a showcase for leading contemporary design and architecture attracting over 500,000 visitors per year.

The new space will extend across over 100,000 sq ft, providing approximately 4,000 sq ft of learning space. It will also provide a restaurant, shops, a library, an events space and a 202 seat auditorium. It is expected that the arrival of the museum will increase footfall, and promote the area as a creative hub in London.

201-207 KENSINGTON HIGH STREET

201-207 Kensington High Street has a distinctive art deco façade with a wide frontage to Kensington High Street. The property is located within the Edwardes Square / Scarsdale and Abingdon Conservation Area. The property is not listed, although it is considered to make a positive contribution to the existing landscape.

PLANNING

The property is located within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea within the Edwardes Square / Scarsdale and Abingdon Conservation Area.

On 19th July 2016, resolution to grant planning permission was given at committee (ref: PP/16/01412) for redevelopment of the site involving retention and restoration of the front façade and erection of two additional storeys to provide a gymnasium, two retail units and 14 private residential apartments. The units located to the front of the property will benefit from traditional Kensington High Street aspects, while the rear of the property will have a private grand and verdant view onto Wynnstay Gardens.

This application is subject to well negotiated planning obligations including: £233,558 towards Affordable Housing, £292,000 towards Borough CIL and £60,000 towards Mayor CIL.

ALTERNATIVE SCHEMES

Residential

A previous planning application (ref: PP/13/03961) was granted 9th September 2013 for redevelopment behind façade and erection of two additional storeys, retaining the existing three retail units with a new residential access built in, gymnasium on first and second floors and 8 private residential apartments. A subsequent variation of condition application (ref: PP/14/03899) amends the scheme to two retail units.

Office

Plans have been prepared (but not submitted) for the redevelopment of the property to provide high quality offices on first and second floors, maintaining retail on ground and lower ground. This will include a large ground floor entrance, service core and roof terracing.

Refurbishment of the Existing Building

There is underlying value in asset managing the existing accommodation by re-letting the current vacant space. There has been specific interest from Gym Operators looking to take the first and second floors.

RETAIL COMMENTARY

The London retail market remains one of the most robust in the world, benefitting from a concentration of wealth and consistently high occupier demand. This has led to strong rental values and investment yields, with the best pitches continually achieving yields of between 2% and 3%.

Kensington High Street is considered a notable central London retail sub-market. Given this reputation, capital values on the High Street are

RESIDENTIAL COMMENTARY

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea holds the title of the most expensive borough in the United Kingdom in which to reside, resulting in a long-standing international reputation for being an exclusive and affluent area to buy a home in London. Married to this is the historic make-up of the Borough’s property, with 70% of the area falling within Conservation Area planning restrictions, resulting in limited opportunities for significantly sized new build development.

A small number of luxury residential developments have been completed within Kensington in recent years, successfully achieving record breaking prices for the area due to the rare combination of new build specifications and prime Kensington locations.

considered much lower in comparison to Oxford Street and Bond Street. As a result, investors are attracted to the area seeing potential for greater returns, therefore the investment market has been active in recent years with a number of transactions taking place on the street.
