Case Study - 18-22 Wigmore Street, London W1
Having been located in Wigmore Street, with Piano showroom and concert hall 100 years ago, our historic, International Piano retail and manufacturing clients had a strong desire to purchase premises close to their original home, now the Wigmore Hall.
Very
few freehold and virtual freehold properties come to the market in Marylebone
and fewer able to secure Vacant Possession of the whole building on Wigmore
Street with the floors sizes required.
After
a period of analytical research, Damian was able to source premises less than
200 feet from their original premises.
Furthermore,
the premises were originally built in 1892 by, and for, a piano manufacturer as
workshops and showroom with a concert area in the basement, who had been on the
site since 1863.
A match made in heaven
Lambourn
Commercial negotiated the purchase and put together a team of professional
advisers to oversee the redevelopment of the property, which is planned to
comprise 12,500 sq ft of offices, showroom, 100 person recital hall, and 13
sound proofed practice rooms over Basement, Ground and First floors plus 4
upper floors to providing 8 new flats.
Case Study - Kensal Road, London W10
Appointed by Housing Association clients on the evening prior to demolition of the original premises, Damian had to review and make recommendations to the original design and specification, thereafter attending monthly Contractor and Project Management meetings on this mixed-use development of 108 flats and 62,000 sq. ft. of Office and Industrial premises fronting the Grand Union Canal in what was then a non-trendy part of Kensington and Chelsea.
