Wed, 01 Jun 2011 | BUSINESS SALE
One of the West End’s largest commercial property developments is set to be constructed on Royal Mail’s Rathbone Place premises just off London’s Oxford Street.
A handful of major commercial property development giants are showing strong signs of interest in the site, including Great Portland Estates, Derwent London and Land Securities.
Royal Mail has already submitted plans for a 600,000 sq. ft. mixed use project to be built on the site, comprising retail units, offices, a new public square and a new street. The development will become known as Newman Place following completion.
The sale – for which Royal Mail will be advised by Jones Lang LaSalle - is slated for completion as early as next year.
The current Rathbone Place is to be closed and all staff members are to be moved to new offices in Mount Pleasant come 2013.
These plans have caused controversy amongst the staff members, some of whom are demanding strike action, saying that the plans highlight Royal Mail’s plan to use the sale to ‘asset-strip and cash in on the value of the property.’
This is an exclusive chance to acquire a legal claims business with substantial work in progress valued at around £5 million.
A well-established company in distribution and installation services is available for acquisition, serving trade and retail sectors across North West England, with depots extending to North East England and Scotland.
Opportunity to acquire a well-established metal decorating business, recognised as one of the largest in Europe since 1979.
