Centrix House, Newbury

Centrix House, Newbury

The Challenge
Centrix House was a 10,000 sq.ft secondary office building in Newbury town centre which had been vacated by the tenant. Thames Properties wished to maximise the value from the asset. Their options included refurbishment and reletting, redevelopment or sale for residential conversion.

The Solution
Campbell Gordon advised on the market and the available returns, including in relation to a sale for residential conversion under Permitted Development Rights. They advised on the best method and strategy for the sale, including offering the car park as a separate lot in order to ensure that full value was extracted from all parts of the asset.

The Result
During the sale process there were a number of challenging events, which were predicted by Campbell Gordon and through which they provided important guidance and direction. Ultimately Campbell Gordon secured a sale in accordance with their ambitious prediction.
