London’s Next Business District
Royal Albert Dock London’s Next Business District
ABP’s development at Royal Albert Dock will create London’s newest business district – after the City of London and Canary Wharf. The majority of business occupiers will be from Asia who will set up their UK and European headquarters here along with UK and European companies seeking to trade with them. Several companies already based in London will be attracted to establish offices within the development in order to meet their expansion needs.
Executive Summary In the first phase of development there will be 28 Type A buildings – small office buildings with ‘their own front door’ specifically designed to meet the requirements of Chinese occupiers. They are situated along the dock side, between the dock side and the main street in two rows, with a mews area between them. Listed Buildings – the two listed buildings on each side of the Royal Albert DLR/roundabout
entrance will be refurbished for leisure uses. The rear elevation will include new lift and stair core to assist with articulation of the rear elevation and enhance the arrival experience of the ground floor. Compressor House will be an amenity building with retail and leisure uses.
A key feature of the high-quality office buildings will allow buyers to have their own interior building design and customised fittings. ABP has the sole private ownership of the whole estate which, at the same time, is a publicly accessible space. It is a 4.7 million sq ft GEA mixed use development comprising principally offices along with retail, residential, leisure and public realm.
-
Office space – 3,300,000 sq ft Residential – 935,000 sq ft Retail/leisure – 166,000 sq ft Other – 314,000 sq ft (including energy centre, car parking, management offices, retail outlet etc.)

Executive Summary ABP’s Royal Albert Dock project has four key components:
1. The 21st Century Asian Business Main Street
A 21st century business high street - a vibrant, active urban street, incorporating a variety of uses - business receptions, residential entrances, cafes, local retail, showrooms, and meeting hubs. The high street provides East-West connectivity and creates the commercial spine for an Asian flagship retail store.
2. The 3rd London Financial District Promenade
Another key element is the opening of the dock edge promenade. The aspiration is to create an active waterfrontage with a focus on Asian financial enterprise.
3. The Central Square
The establishment of an active mixed use development and the creation of a large square on the waterfront incorporating a variety of uses and activities.
4. Streets and Squares
The urban character of the development is based on the creation of active streets and squares which establish places and create addresses for the variety of business and commercial uses proposed. Public open space comes before development of the individual building plots and creates a robust urban framework which makes places for people to work, live and enjoy.

Location
Royal Albert Dock London’s Next Business District
East London is now recognised as the centre for growth, and it is widely accepted and promoted as the area of London where business will locate to and so become the destination for businesses of the 21st century. The UK Government describes the area as the ‘arc of opportunity’ where London will develop in the future with £26 billion of development projects planned over the next ten years. Royal Albert Dock is an iconic location situated between the ExCeL International Exhibition Centre and the University of East London and next to London City Airport. ExCeL and London City Airport have established London’s Royal Docks as a destination and together they provide the wider area with a critical mass of activity and international connectivity. London City Airport has direct flight links to more than 30 international business cities and weekly flights to New York with planned expansion to include the Middle East and Russia. The Royal Albert Dock development site already has the benefit of extensive infrastructure including a modern road network into Central London and to the M11 linking Cambridge, and there are 3 Docklands Light Railway stations on the site with average 5 minute journey times to nearby Canary Wharf with further upgrades planned.
The £15 billion Crossrail transport scheme will be operational by 2018, providing east-west services across London and the South East, at the same time the first phase of ABP’s development at Royal Albert Dock will be completed. With a station at Custom House, Crossrail will transform the strategic accessibility of the Royal Docks. (5 minutes to Canary Wharf, 13 minutes to City of London, 20 minutes to West End, 46 minutes to Heathrow)
The location of the Royal Docks on the River Thames and close to the River Lea allows water access for major vessels and during the Olympic Games in 2012, Royal Albert Dock was used as the berth for cruise liners. A few miles downstream is Europe’s most up-to-date deep sea port ‘London Gateway’.

Rental growth will be driven by supply shortages, particularly in the West End;

The delivery of Crossrail across London will have a cumulative and transformative effect on value over time; Rental spread between the high and low rented locations will widen, and this offers the potential for more tenant drift and potentially stronger growth in fringe locations that we are forecasting.
