Planning HistoryThe site also benefits from a planning consent for a mixed use serviced apartment, residential, office and retail scheme, as follows:
+ 23,205 sq ft (2,156 sq m) of commercial accommodation split over lower ground, ground and first floor level, comprising 15,800 sq ft (1,468 sq m) of B1 offices and 7,405 sq ft (688 sq m) of flexible A1/A2/A3/B1 accommodation;

+ Six residential apartments (2 x 1-bed, 3 x 2-bed and 1 x 3-bed) at third (rear) and fourth floor levels with roof terraces.
This planning consent was achieved in December 2012 and was implemented when the existing buildings on site were demolished.

Occupational MarketThe London vacancy rate has been falling for almost three years and has fallen to just below 3%.
Demand across non-core submarkets continues to originate from a wide range of occupiers looking for affordable Grade-A space. Supply continues to lag, with approximately 20% of schemes currently under construction already pre-let.
Rental evidence in Islington suggests that the rental growth rate has been in line with surrounding City Fringe locations. Rents in Islington are typically in the high £50’s per sq ft, with any premium space on the borders of Shoreditch and King’s Cross in the sub 5,000 sq ft category commanding rents in excess of £60 per sq ft.
Recent rental growth driven by acutely low vacancy in Tech City, coupled with continuing strong demand, has caused a leapfrogging effect resulting in cost-conscious tech companies having to widen their search for office space.
