London’s Battersea Power Station Development, owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors comprising SP Setia, Sime Darby and the Employees’ Provident Fund, has launched a drive to attract world-class commercial tenants with a new office district.
With 1,250,000 sq ft of net lettable office space across the 42-acre site, workers will enjoy access to shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, hotels, an urban food hall, a 2,000 capacity event space and leisure facilities including a 6-acre Riverfront Park.
At the heart of the estate is the Power Station that features 470,000 sq ft of office space on the six upper floors of the central Boiler House section. These larger-than-average floor plates of 80,000 sq ft will be set around a central glass atrium measuring 80 metres long by 20 metres wide and 26 metres high. Original and new exposed brickwork will mix with the industrial heritage of the Power Station to offer inspiration to and fuel the ambition of the workforce it houses.
Rob Tincknell, Chief Executive Officer of the development company, said: “The Power Station is at the heart of this new urban quarter for London and offers businesses a very special opportunity to re-locate.
“For more than 50 years the Power Station was a hard-working engine room of London and we have designed its upper floors to be a power house of the future with state-of-the-art work and shared spaces to fuel imaginations.
“With new transport links and a whole host of exciting retail and leisure opportunities on the doorstep, the Power Station will be London’s most exciting destination and we are seeking the best possible business partners to join our community.”
