Uxbridge office block refurbishment gets green light

Tritax Property Income Fund has been awarded planning consent for the refurbishment and reconfiguration of an Uxbridge office building.

Comprising around 70,000 sq ft, 1 Furzeground Way at Stockley Park near Heathrow Airport will undergo a full refurbishment.

Oakmont Construction has been selected as preferred main contractor for the project, which will see works such as a repositioned entrance, triple-height atrium with new collaboration space, new showers, changing and cycle store facilities and a new external terrace overlooking the adjoining lake.

The refurbishment is anticipated in February 2020, with practical completion expected by the end of the year.

Knight Frank is the leasing advisor at the property. Will Foster, partner at Knight Frank, commented: “The reinvention of 1 Furzeground Way will deliver a truly unique, reinvented Grade A product into the Heathrow and wider Thames Valley office market, where only two new schemes have started on site in the past six months.

“With occupiers requirements increasingly focused on well-connected locations, the easy access to the motorway network and being within easy reach of two Crossrail Stations, 1 Furzeground Way can readily satisfy this demand.”
