KIER PROPERTY TRADE CITY 03_ Sydenham The wider Sydenham site, totalling 13 acres, was purchased competitively from National Grid. Kier has since developed a 120,000 sq ft bulky goods retail park on the majority of the site. The remaining 2.5 was developed speculatively for a high quality Trade City scheme, comprising 75,000 sq ft of trade counter industrial space. Sydenham has a large catchment area which has a limited supply of new, good quality industrial units and therefore this scheme caters to both local and national trade operators. Phase I of the development was constructed as part of the retail scheme and totals 19,000 sq ft over four units. These units were let to occupiers such as Halfords Autocentres and the Wolseley Group (trading as the Plumb Centre). Phase II comprised the remaining 56,000 sq ft of space and 30 percent of the scheme was pre-let to a Mercedes Benz servicing centre. The remaining eight units were constructed with the absence of mezzanine space to give future occupiers flexibility for their trading requirements. Also as part of the development, a number of electrical car charging points were provided to encourage sustainable travel. This Trade City scheme, along with the attraction of the new Bell Green Retail Park and adjacent Sainsbury s superstore, helps to create a successful new destination for trade operators.

KIER PROPERTY TRADE CITY 04_ Sunbury Kier acquired the 1.4 acre site for office use with a number of tenants on short-term licences. Once Kier achieved vacant possession, planning was achieved for a 36,500 sq ft industrial scheme. The nine unit scheme was developed speculatively and two units were pre-sold to local businesses prior to practical completion. The development has provided much needed, high quality industrial space for a number of local occupiers and has helped increase the reputation, as a destination for local businesses. All but one of the units were sold within 12 months of practical completion (beating initial estimates) and setting a benchmark for freehold sales locally. The high specification provides quality electric roller shutter doors, high quality first floor office accommodation and renewable energy via PV panels. As of September 2014, Kier completed disposal of the final unit on the scheme. CLIENT: LOCATION: Project Role: Value: Speculative Brooklands Close, Sunbury-on-Thames Developer 5 million 10
