Massive improvements in transport infrastructure and nearby sites such as Battersea Power Station has made this a great location for investment in commercial property.

The site of Battersea Studios was originally developed by BT as a warehouse facility in the 1970s and subsequently housed a TV Broadcaster for many years before the site was purchased by Helical Bar in 2005.

The media sector is still at the heart of the target tenant mix for the site. We have worked as part of their team to maximise the site’s potential. The existing main building has been improved to provide a variety of unit sizes and core support facilities for the site and a new freestanding building of 50,000sqft, BS2, was constructed in the car park creating larger clear and flexible floor plates to a spec to attract the higher rents predicted for the area.

The site has recently been purchased by Schroders as part of their commitment to invest in fringe London markets and BS3 is currently on the drawing board.
