London to be green power giant

February 26, 2008

A vision of London powered by a system of green energy centres was outlined this week by deputy mayor Nicky Gavron.

The proposal is part of the third revision to the London Plan, unveiled on Tuesday (19 February), which requires all new buildings to be as energy-efficient as possible and invest in, or link to, the planned decentralised energy systems.

The plan will then require developments to reduce their remaining CO2 emissions by 20% through the on-site generation of renewable energy.

London’s first two green energy centres have already been earmarked for development at the 2012 Olympics site in Stratford, E15.

One is also likely to be included in the regeneration of Elephant & Castle, SE1.

Gavron said the Greater London Authority was considering introducing the centres across London to supply power to the capital through a system of carbon-friendly combined heat and power.

She said the GLA was considering a “zonal or neighbourhood approach”, building power stations for individual boroughs.

“What we are keen to do in the long term is develop a macro-infraestructure for heat and power supply”, said Gavron. “We want the stations to link up, so are looking at how we can use these developments as anchors for neighbourhoods that already exist.”

However, business organisation London First claimed that around 170 energy centres would be required to supply just one-quarter of London’s energy in the way.

Knightsbridge rents near Mayfair levels

February 4, 2008

Office rents in Knightsbridge, SW1, the most opulent area of Kensington and Chelsea, are beginning to resemble levels of Mayfair, W1.

According to Knight Frank’s Mike Sadler, private equity firm MGPA took 10,000 sq ft last December in Deka’s 60 Sloane Avenue, SW1, at £80 per sq ft. Sloane Street and Brompton Road, SW3, have topped that with deals done, at more than £90 per sq ft and £100 per sq ft respectively, in the past year.

It is difficult to ascertain the extent of the rental increase, but Sadler points out that he let top-quality, seconhand space in Brompton Road last year at £75 per sq ft, up from £45 per sq ft in 2006.

Further west, rents struggle to reach £50 per sq ft. However, Sadler says: “Rents have leapt a lot more than in other parts of the borough because the alternatives in Mayfair are so expensive.”

Expect space to remain scarce and exclusive over the next two years. Deka is building an additional 10,000 sq ft at 60 Sloane Avenue but, beyond that, few developers are active, and supply is likely to remain tight.
