South London Office Sustainability

Leading South London estate agents KALMARs have launched to the market a brand-new office block development in close proximity to both London Bridge and Borough. Providing 5,000 sq. ft. of sustainable Grade A office space, 15 Blue Lion Place boasts some of South London’s most environmentally friendly offices.  Offering five storeys worth of office space, 15 Blue Lion Place is available to rent for £39,500 per annum per floor.

Offices at 15 Blue Lion Place have been fitted with a high-specification inclusive of sustainable features and environmental credentials, in turn creating one of the most ecological office blocks in South London. This ‘green’ specification includes low energy air source heat pumps, LED lighting throughout and low energy heating and cooling systems, which have led to the building receiving a ‘very good’ sustainability rating by the world’s leading sustainability assessment method, BREEAM.

Located just off Bermondsey Street in Southwark, 15 Blue Lion Place provides media style offices with typical floorplates offering approximately 750 sq. ft. of space, which can be let on a floor by floor basis or as a whole. With three out of the five floors under offer or let, only two floors are remaining in the development.

Offices at 15 Blue Lion Place will be fully fitted out and ready to move into, featuring kitchenettes and fibre optic connection, a shared meeting room on the ground floor that is accessible to all residents, floor to ceiling heights in excess of 2.45m and excellent natural light to all floors, creating an open and airy ambience throughout the building.

The exterior of 15 Blue Lion Place is as impressive as its interior. The new-build development, which has replaced a redundant former coal shed, features reclaimed brick and timber of varying tones, leading the building to stand out amongst the historic warehouses that make up most of Bermondsey. Crittall-type glazing and exposed surfaces create an industrial style aesthetic, pairing beautifully with other buildings along the street.

As well as being a more sustainable office option, renting at the 15 Blue Lion Place development will be a fantastic investment opportunity, due to the rise in South London’s office market since the start of 2020.

According to KALMARs first quarterly report for 2020, South London’s office market has seen increased activity since the start of the year, allowing for rents that had decreased since quarter two of 2017, now likely to significantly rise, creating eminent investment opportunities for tenants in the office rental market. As well as this, since the general election in December of 2019, KALMARs highlight that applicant activity has risen due to more certainty in our government, creating higher demand in the sector.

15 Blue Lion Place occupies a prominent position in Southwark, located just off Bermondsey Street. Bermondsey is a highly desirable destination for businesses, with local occupiers being tech companies, designers, advertising and media agencies. The surrounding area provides a variety of world class amenities, inclusive of restaurants, hotels, boutique shops and historic landmarks. The development also has superb connectivity links, located a mere 0.4 miles away from London Bridge Tube station.

Joel Dela Cruz, Associate Director of KALMARs Commercial department says, “15 Blue Lion Place is not only a sustainably and environmentally friendly alternative to generalised office space in South London, but also a future investment opportunity. With the substantial increase of activity in South London’s office market in 2020 and a higher demand in the sector due to the lifting of 2019’s political fog, a rental investment at 15 Blue Lion Place would be a fantastic opportunity.”

Offices at 15 Blue Lion Place are available to rent for £39,500 per annum per floor. For further information on 15 Blue Lion Place please visit www.kalmars.com or call 0207 403 0600.
