Refurbishment

In an economic downturn and with the office market slowing down, if not stalling altogether, you as an occupying companies may need to reconsider your office space and how to maximise the value you get from it. You may require more space or simply want to refurbish your existing office to use the space more effectively and efficiently, to reflect your current business needs or you simply need to accommodate more flexible technology solutions.

As landlord, optimising your assets makes sense and gives you a clear advantage, enabling you to respond swiftly to occupier demands. It is often much quicker to refurbish existing property and in many cases it offers a clear financial benefit over new build options.

The availability of pre-existing building stock can be very attractive to both occupiers and landlords, as they can offer a number of benefits including:

Return on investment seen in shorter period of time
Improved rental and yield values at a lower cost and capital investment
Enhancement to the value of a funds portfolio
Attraction and retention of tenants
Opportunities to increase floor by bringing redundant space back to life
Programme benefits over new build options
Enhancements to the design life of existing property
The opportunity to work in a characterful building is often seen as a benefit by

staff

Working with the Local Authority Listed Buildings legislation can be a challenge, balancing the requirements of the conservation and planning authorities with the building owner’s desire for a contemporary and commercially viable scheme. Claremont Group Interiors have been working with a number of landlords and building owners recently to understand how modern and effective working environments can be created within a variety of older buildings. Our integrated design and build approach has delivered several successful schemes in landmark buildings and demonstrates a keen eye for detail coupled with a clear commercial understanding.
