December 2014: Following a residential conversion of HM Passport Office’s previous accommodation, Mapeley has relocated the team to Sapphire Plaza, Reading. The common areas were also refurbished to provide improved accommodation for HMPO, and to help market the remaining vacant space.

Mapeley has successfully relocated VOA’s Plymouth office to The Apex in order for the previous site to be redeveloped into student accommodation. The Apex, an existing Mapeley owned property, was recently vacated by HMRC, meaning that the relocation of VOA has successfully recycled existing estate space.

Mapeley has agreed a lease renewal on the whole of Blackburn House, Hanley, providing significant savings on the previous head lease rent.

Mapeley has agreed a lease renewal on Lynx House, Portsmouth, with a 55% reduction in head rent. The iconic office building, originally constructed for IBM, comprises 111,337sqft and was Grade II listed by English Heritage in 2015.

Mapeley are delighted to announce a further letting of 14,165 sq ft at Dukes Court in Woking to the leading market research company, GFK. With office occupiers identifying Woking as a key office location, the remaining suite of 9,700 sq ft is certain not to remain empty for long. The office offers fantastic natural light and has been fully refurbished including new LG7 lighting, carpeting and redecoration throughout as well as benefiting from Air conditioning.

Mapeley has agreed a deal with a third party tenant resulting in a cash flow benefit of £542,000 for five years, which is the first break point of the lease. The deal involved a surrender and re-grant deal with the tenant, on a longer term contract, and included additional space that was vacant.

Mapeley are pleased to announce they have just completed a further letting of 3,350 sq ft on the 2nd floor of the Grade A offices at Clarendon House in Edinburgh to the NMC. This follows refurbishment works that were only completed in December 2014. With only up to 13,000 sq ft of offices available to let, Clarendon House is proving to be one of the most desireable offices in Edinburgh. www.116georgestreet.co.uk
