Commercial space snapped up at Greenwich mixed-use development

A new mixed-use development has already seen two thirds of its commercial space snapped up.

Bellway London is delivering 34,515 sq ft of business space at The River Gardens, a development of 278 apartments off Banning Street overlooking the River Thames.

Agreements have already been reached with businesses on the sale of several commercial units, amounting to a combined 22,420 sq ft of floor space.

Tom Sherriff, managing director for Bellway London, commented: “One of London’s greenest boroughs, Greenwich has a proud tradition of independent shops and businesses, world-renowned visitor attractions which draw in the tourist crowds, and excellent transport connections to other parts of the capital.

“The 34,515 sq ft of commercial space at The River Gardens will provide an opportunity for startups seeking their first base, expanding companies in need of larger or more modern premises, or retailers looking for a more prominent or prestigious location on the banks of the Thames.

“The demand we have already seen for units from a diverse range of companies indicates that, despite the challenges of the past year, business confidence in Greenwich remains extremely high.

“This is encouraging not only for local businesses, but also Greenwich residents who will benefit from an even more vibrant shopping, leisure and dining scene.”
