Investment Overview• A prime City of London investment with development potential.
• Located 200 metres from Crossrail Liverpool Street (operational in 2018).
• Strategically situated serving both the financial services and insurance markets, in close proximity to the creative district of Spitalfields and Shoreditch.
• Attractive period building situated within an exclusive private courtyard.
• Opportunity to create a Grade A building of circa 27,420 sq ft, subject to the necessary consents. The current floor area is 23,986 sq ft.
• Multi-let by way of five occupational leases drawn on effective FRI terms.
• Vacant possession can be achieved in September 2018, alternatively leases may be extended.
• Held by way of a headlease with c. 133 years unexpired. The Freeholder is entitled to 10.00% of rents received from underletting(s), subject to a minimum rent of £75,000 per annum.
• Approximately 60% of the building is let at just £24.41 per sq ft overall.
• Following deduction of headrent the net rental income is £670,581 per annum exclusive. This is anticipated to rise to in excess of £1.50 million upon completion of the development initiatives.
• Repositioning opportunities are well timed in the context of Crossrail.
ProposalOffers in excess of £18.00 million are invited, subject to contract, for the long leasehold interest. This reflects an anticipated yield on cost of 5.75% (when stabilised) and a capital value of £656 per sq ft on the anticipated floor area.

TenanciesThe property is let in accordance with the tenancy schedule set out overleaf and produces a net rental income of £670,581 per annum exclusive.
Approximately 60% of the building is let at just £24.41 per sq ft overall. The low passing rents reflect the fact that St Helen’s Place has been the subject of substantial development activity arising from the creation of a new Livery Hall and 100 Bishopsgate. Within St Helen's Place these works are ostensibly at an end,
Vacant possession of the entire building can be obtained in September 2018. Brookfield Multiplex, occupies approximately 60% of the building as a site office for its development at 100 Bishopsgate. This project is unlikely to be completed before mid 2019. A number of occupiers have contacted the landlord with a view to extending their leases.
All leases are drawn on effective full repairing and insuring terms and are excluded from the L&T Act 1954.

Development PotentialAn opportunity exists to transform 17 St Helen’s Place into a Grade A headquarters building with an additional floor of offices and re-configured floorplates.
The Freeholder is supportive of the development proposals and has recently re-geared the headlease in order to help facilitate the proposed initiatives.
Vacant possession can be achieved by September 2018. This is well timed in the context of Crossrail, which becomes operational next year.
A feasibility study undertaken by Minifie Architects has concluded that circa 3,500 sq ft (325 sq m) of lettable floorspace could be created, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The proposals envisage that WC’s are re-located into the rear lightwells, enhancing the floorplate configuration. A floor area gain of circa 1,615 sq ft (150 sq m) is anticipated from the initiative.
A new sixth office floor is anticipated to provide circa 1,820 sq ft (169 sq m) of net accommodation. This will have spectacular City views and could feature a private roof garden. A more substantial intervention could enable the floor area to be increased further.
Shower and changing facilities will be created within the basement for cyclists. Further information is available upon request.

City Investment MarketPost refurbishment, 17 St Helen’s Place will be one of the best small floorplate buildings in the City of London. Small lot sizes in the central core are a rare commodity. Given its stature, the building would almost certainly appeal to owner occupiers. End users are likely to emanate from a variety of sectors including; medical (given its discrete setting), financial services and banking, insurance, brokers and charitable or regulatory bodies.
The City investment market is experiencing an acute shortage of good quality stock (small lot sizes) and strong demand, particularly from overseas investors. Prime yields have hardened to 4.00%, compared to the West End at sub 3.25%.

17 St Helen's Place is strategically situated serving both the traditional financial services district (EC2) and the insurance and shipping district (EC3). The property is also in very close proximity to the creative and TMT districts of Spitalfields and Shoreditch.
The refurbished property will appeal to a wide variety of occupiers and we expect the target audience to widen significantly when Crossrail becomes operational next year.
There has been a 28% increase in employment in the City of London over the last five years and of the 18,000 businesses located in the City, 99% are SME’s. High quality best-in-class floor plates are well placed to prosper as occupiers recognise that the core city area provides excellent value for money in a central London context.
Demand
• Take-up at the end of Q3 2017 totalled 1.58m sq ft.
• Best-in-class buildings continue to prove most popular for discerning tenants across all sectors.
• Total active demand rose by 3% in the last quarter to 4.78m sq ft, 17% above the long-term average.
Availability
• City availability fell by 11% in the last quarter to 7.87m sq ft. This remains below the long-term average of 9.35m sq ft.
• At the end of Q3 2017 supply stood at 8.06m sq ft, a reduction of 8.8% from the previous quarter.
• Supply remains well below the long-term average of 9.38m sq ft.
• The current vacancy rate in the City is 6.7%, well below the long-term average of 8%.
Rents
