25 Argyll Street, W1

The then named Regent Arcade House was a beautiful, historic building on the exterior, with a tired and outdated interior, in one of the most desirable areas of London which was in the midst of a massive cultural shift. Seeing the potential of the building, and with the location’s rapidly expanding tenant demand – far outreaching its traditional corporate appeal, the asset was purchased for £48 million in 2012. To attract corporate tenants and the now prominent Technology, Media & Telecom sector (TMT) sector alike, Riverside Capital carried out a £3.5 million refurbishment to produce the first building of its kind in the West End, first floor designs were clean and corporate, while those on the fourth and fifth floors incorporated exposed services for a modern aesthetic more suited to TMT tenants. On completion of the works, Riverside Capital achieved lettings with H&M and Spotify, before the building was sold in 2015 for £75 million.
 

 

Euston House, 24 Eversholt Street, NW1

This historic art deco property sat in the midst of the ambitious Euston Area Plan and next to the future of HS2. Seeing the revolutionary change that transport focused developments had bought to landmark London hubs such as King’s Cross, the 106,145 sq. ft. Euston House was purchased for £42.75 million in 2011. Riverside Capital re-imagined the dated interiors and bought the art deco theme of the facade inside to revamp the reception area, available floors and lifts. The result was a 107% increase on rent from acquisition to the end of their asset management strategy.
 

 

Old Street Works, 197–205 City Road, EC1

Old Street Works lies in the heart of London’s “Tech City”, home of the rapidly growing TMT sector which now employs more people in London than the finance industry, and is set to rise further. Seeing the huge level of prime office, residential and hotel development which was bringing new life to the area, Riverside Capital purchased the building for £27.5 million in 2017. With an investment term of 3.5 years, they set out to refurbish and extend the asset, let vacant floors and increase rents at review. Refurbishment works were swiftly completed and the property fully let ahead of schedule. The team continue to roll out our asset management plan to further increase value ahead of the planned sale in 2020.
