Location
Situation
Hammersmith is one of London’s foremost commercial and
business districts and is strategically located approximately 3.5
miles to the west of Central London. It is the principal western
gateway into Central London. It benefits from excellent access
to the A4 which links Heathrow International Airport, the world’s
busiest airport, to Central London.
26-28 Hammersmith Grove is situated approximately two
minutes walk to the north of Hammersmith Broadway
and Hammersmith London Underground Station. The
property is adjacent to the prime developments at 10 & 12
Hammersmith Grove.
Hammersmith is the most prominent West London office
location and one of London’s major transport interchanges, with
unrivalled public transport links and roadways.
The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is the fourth
most densely populated area in the UK.
The local amenities and transport links of Hammersmith
Broadway are all within a very short walk of the property.
Immediately to the north of the site is the affluent and
fashionable Brackenbury Village, whilst to the south the
property bounds a blend of prominent offices, retail and
leisure amenities including the Broadway Shopping Centre.

Hammersmith’s road network
converges into a gyratory system
which is a key element of West
London’s road infrastructure. 2628 Hammersmith Grove is located
approximately 300m to the north of
this system which feeds directly into
the M4/A4, providing access to the
national motorway network.
Hammersmith is a significant
interchange on the London
Underground network and offers
multi-line provision. It is one of
only eight tube stations served by
four or more underground lines.
26-28 Hammersmith Grove is
positioned a two minute walk north of
Hammersmith Underground station.
Hammersmith benefits from excellent
links to Heathrow International Airport,
located approximately 10 miles to the
west. It can be easily accessed either
by road (M4 motorway) or via the
London Underground (Piccadilly Line)
in just 30 minutes.
Recently, plans to replace the
Hammersmith flyover with an
underground tunnel have been
presented. The proposal, subject to
the necessary consents and findings,
could see a tunnel running beneath
the existing A4 from the Hogarth
roundabout to Earls Court with northsouth links. The proposal seeks to
ease traffic flow and reconnect the
Broadway with the significant river
frontage that Hammersmith enjoys.
The underground lines serving
Hammersmith are the District Line,
Piccadilly Line, Hammersmith & City
Line and Circle Line.

13 Hammersmith Occupational Market
Occupational Market
Due to Hammersmith’s excellent communications and
position within the Central London market, it has proven to
be one of London’s most dynamic markets with over 50%
rental growth in the past three years, one of the highest of
any London submarket.
The Hammersmith market has benefitted significantly from
the footloose nature of London’s occupiers, seeking high
quality office accommodation with excellent transport
communications and amenities. JLL has identified
approximately 682,500 sq ft of active tenant demand
specifically targeting Hammersmith well above the five year
average of 351,000 sq ft, illustrating a demand to supply
ratio of 7:1.
The Hammersmith office market is currently witnessing
strong levels of occupational activity with total vacancy rates
at 2.6% and vacancy rates for Grade A supply at 0%. The
lack of supply has been exacerbated by the continued trend
of office to residential conversion with over 1.3 million sq ft of
office stock being lost in the past two years.
Prime Rental Series (£ psf)
Source: JLL
26 – 28 Hammersmith Grove
Approximately 129,400 sq ft has been let in seven
transactions in 2014, well ahead of the 73,000 sq ft let
in 2013.
The most recent significant development to be completed
is at 10 Hammersmith Grove. This brand new mixed use
office and retail property was developed by Aberdeen
and Development Securities. The property is the first new
Grade A development to be completed in ten years and
has set a new rental tone of £50.00 per sq ft. The 115,000
sq ft building was fully let within 12 months of practical
completion, a testament to the strength of demand for
high-quality accommodation.
With only one office scheme being delivered to the market
in 2015 totalling 82,000 sq ft compared to the 682,500 sq ft
of tenant demand targeting the area, further rental growth is
expected in the short term together with significant reduction
of tenant incentives and rent free periods.
“Proven to be one of London’s most
dynamic markets”
Office Leasing Comparables
The table below sets out selected key leasing comparables.
Directly adjacent to 26-28 Hammersmith Grove, Aberdeen and Development Securities are developing 12 Hammersmith Grove. Completion
is due in Q1 2016 and is likely to set a new benchmark in the immediate vicinity providing 167,000 sq ft high quality Grade A office
accommodation into a highly restricted supply pipeline. Furthermore, the development will see significant improvement to the streetscape
with new landscaping and retail/leisure amenities. This restricted pipeline combined with new developments will facilitate further rental growth
and demonstrate new rental benchmarks.

14 Hammersmith Investment Market
Investment Market Commentary
London has remained the most traded city in the world for the past four years. Both domestic and overseas purchasers are attracted by the
high liquidity, transparency and long term wealth preservation that London offers. Investor demand continues to grow and the lack of quality
freehold assets in good locations, combined with the continued strength of the occupational markets, has maintained pressure on yields.
Prime yields in the West End are 4.00% for comparable lot sizes and are under downward pressure due to growing investor demand and
rental growth. Central London investment volumes reached £18.1bn almost matching the record level achieved in 2013. Approximately £25
billion of equity is known to be targeting Central London assets, resulting in a significant demand for well located investment opportunities of
scale. In addition, investors are seeking shorter term income where the opportunity exists to refurbish and reposition assets to benefit from
forecast rental growth and capitalise on a robust occupational market with the lowest recorded vacancy levels.
Hammersmith remains a favoured location for both occupiers and investors. It has experienced a high level of activity from a broad range
of investors targeting the sub market. Those parties include UK Institutions and investors from the Middle East, North America, South East
Asia and throughout Europe. Strong market fundamentals will continue to attract investors seeking to capitalise on the depth of occupational
demand, low levels of supply and rental growth projections.

15 Asset Management Initiatives
Asset Management
26-28 Hammersmith Grove offers a range of exciting and
significant asset management opportunities.
There are a number of tangible opportunities to increase
current rental income and capture the highly reversionary
uplift in income throughout the building. 86% (c.175,000
sq ft) of the asset, by floor area, has lease events in the
years 2015-2017. The current passing rent reflects an
exceptionally low £27.95 sq ft overall which illustrates the
highly reversionary nature of the asset.
The sixth floor of the East Wing became vacant in December
2014 and once refurbished will be the only floor plate in
excess of 10,000 sq ft available in Hammersmith, providing
much needed supply into the market. Upon letting it is likely
that it will set a new rental tone for the entire building for the
purposes of rent reviews and lease renewals.
Active asset management initiatives will include refurbishment
of vacant accommodation, rent reviews, lease renewals,
regears, surrender and relets. Furthermore, extensive
development options are discussed overleaf in section 16.
The 2nd - 4th floors in the East Wing benefit from a potential
net internal area gain at lease expiry achieved by reclaiming
part of the large lift lobbies and circulation space totalling
c.2,500 sq ft per floor. This has been implemented on the 5th
and 6th floors already and would provide up to 7,500 sq ft of
net internal area gain on remaining floors.
In addition to this the property benefits from in excess of
20,000 sq ft of vacant Grade A office accommodation,
presenting an immediate opportunity to capitalise on strong
occupier demand and rental reversion. Evidence created by
these lettings will set a new tone for approaching rent reviews
and lease renewals.
Furthermore there are currently 146 vacant car parking spaces
with the most recent lettings at the property achieving £4,000
per annum. Providing yet another opportunity to drive short to
medium term income.

16 Potential for Development
Future Development Options
26-28 Hammersmith Grove offers a number of exciting development opportunities which will provide
significant gains across the site. The property is a landmark 2.3 acre site benefitting from an exceptionally
low site density of 44%. The section below details three key opportunities which have been identified with
a supporting architectural study and planning report. All reports are available on the data site.
1. Vacant Multi-Storey Car Park Site
The former multi-storey car park to the north of the site provides an opportunity for redevelopment and
potential change of use. The car park was originally constructed in the 1970s and is currently underutilised. Demolition of this block and removal of the car parking ramp will provide the opportunity to
create a self-contained building whilst reconfiguring the car parking and landscaping.
JLL’s Planning team has identified potential uses as office, hotel or residential.
The architectural study provides for a self-contained office building of 47,512 sq ft (NIA) or a 160 key
hotel. A full breakdown of floor areas, layouts and planning reports are available on the data site.
2. Two additional office floors on East Wing
Tate Hindle in conjunction with the structural survey carried out by Davies Maguire + Whitby have
established that two additional floors comprising 34,811 sq ft NIA of office accommodation can be
created. The proposed 7th and 8th floors, each comprising 17,405 sq ft respectively, have been designed
within the existing structure and will not require further structural reinforcement. The structural survey is
available on the data site.
3. Incubator Suites
Conversion of undercroft car parking spaces on the first floor below the east wing into incubator suites
extending to 11,216 sq ft (NIA). The newly developed “incubator” units would provide flexible office and
work shop accommodation to small companies, innovators and start-ups. The intention would be to
provide a flexible and collaborative urban environment at an affordable rental level. This would be viewed
favourably by the local authority and would provide a breeding ground for new tenants to grow into the
building. Further plans and floor areas are contained in the Tate Hindle architectural study on the data site.
