LLOYDS COURT & 52 – 60 GREY STREET

GREY STREET

Grey Street is widely regarded as one of the finest streets in Europe and forms part of the wider Grainger Town

development, which dates from the 1830’s. Grey Street has long been regarded as the heart of Newcastle’s traditional

office core, with many buildings having undergone extensive redevelopment behind the existing facades to

provide modern flexible office accommodation. The street remains popular with occupiers attracted by both the wide

range of amenities and excellent transport links.

Grey Street has evolved over recent years to become the prime upmarket leisure and dining scene for Newcastle

upon Tyne. Home to the iconic Theatre Royal, the street links the Quayside to the south, to Greys Monument and

Intu Eldon Square Shopping Centre to the north. The street is home to many popular restaurants and bars including

national multiples such as Zizzi’s, The Living Room and Browns, to local and reginal occupiers such as Bar Luga and Decantus. As the street has grown in popularity, the

area has seen a regeneration of side streets leading onto Grey Street such as Highbridge and Shakespeare Street, attracting international and local occupiers ranging from

Motel One, to local restaurants, bars and shops.

DESCRIPTION

The subject property comprises two adjoining assets, Lloyds Court and 52 – 60 Grey Street, which together,

form a substantial Grade II* listed office and leisure holding occupying a prime position on one of Europe’s finest streets. Both buildings were originally constructed in the 1830’s with each subsequently redeveloped behind the façade, 52 – 60

in the late 1990’s and Lloyds Court (62 - 78) in 2002. Both buildings feature imposing Grade II* listed sandstone façades

synonymous with Grey Street.

Lloyds Court comprises a five-storey mixed use building set over basement, ground and three upper floors. The offices are accessed via Grey Street into an impressive full height glazed

reception including a feature staircase and lift lobby. Each floor is fitted out to a Grade A specification including raised

access floors, suspended ceilings, dedicated security access to each suite, 2 x 8 person passenger lifts, W/C’s on each floor

and secure basement car parking for 16 cars. The ground floor comprises retail and leisure units each with dedicated

access. Las Iguanas have amalgamated and occupy two units under their lease at 64 – 74 and trade from both

basement and ground floor levels, whilst Sk:n occupy and trade from the ground floor of 76 Grey Street with

ancillary storage at basement level.

52 – 60 Grey Street comprises a five-storey mixed use building currently, arranged as a public house and office suite at

ground floor level and office accommodation on the three upper floors. Internally, the office accommodation is of a modern specification including raised floors and comfort

cooling, with dedicated access from Grey Street leading into a manned reception with lift lobby and 8 person passenger lift. The ground floor office accommodation, formerly a retail unit, has its own dedicated access onto Grey Street as well as benefitting from an internal access linking to both the building

reception, the main stairwell, fire escape and secondary access to the rear. The building benefits from 11 secure onsite

parking spaces accessed from the rear via Market Lane.

RentsNewcastle city centre has seen a notable increase in the headline rental tone over the past 18 months, having spent approximately 10 years at £21.50 per sq ft.

Headline rents have risen to £23.50 per sq ft and landlords are now set to push this on further with several deals in solicitor’s hands which will establish between £24 and £25 in 2018.

We set out below a schedule of recent lettings:

Smaller transactions drove leasing activity increasing the volume of deals with 43 transactions completing so far in 2018,, a notable upturn on the 41 completed throughout 2017 in its entirety.

“Despite the recent growth in headline rents in the city centre, Newcastle remains excellent value for grade A offices in comparison to other regional markets.”

Occupational Supply

Take up

The city centre has seen no new stock delivered since The Rocket and Live Works completed in 2016. Both buildings let in their entirety within 3 and 6 months respectively.

Despite a severe shortage of new development, Newcastle has seen delivery of three key refurbishments in the last eighteen months at Earl Grey House, Central Square South and 71 Grey Street all of which have seen strong demand and let well. Earl Grey House now has just under 4,000 sq ft remaining, Central Square South has seen 27,400 sq ft taken up since Q1 2018 whilst 71 Grey Street is approximately 60% pre- let, with works not due to complete until later this year.

With take up levels rebounding in Q1 2018,

Newcastle city centre has circa 125,000 sq ft of grade A accommodation remaining, equating to just over a year’s supply based on three year average take up (grade A only).

Newcastle’s development pipeline remains highly restricted with only one new development underway at Newcastle Helix. L&G’s The Lumen is expected to complete in Q4 2019 and will deliver 108,000 sq ft of grade A accommodation to the north of the city. L&G are contracted to deliver a second building, The Spark, however this will only commence upon 60% occupancy of the Lumen.

The development pipeline is highly restricted with not a single new building deliverable until Q4 2019.

City centre take up has averaged 215,869 sq ft per annum over the last 3 years and saw a revival during Q1 - 3 2018, totaling 200,877 sq ft, up 43% on the same period in 2017. Grade A take up in particular has seen a strong rebound, with Q2 2018 outstripping the 4 preceding quarters. The positive figures can be largely attributed to the delivery of circa 82,500 sq ft of refurbished grade A accommodation throughout 2017 and 2018, of which nearly 60% has been let.

Current take-up levels reflect just over 12 months* supply of grade A. At present, there are only two buildings in the city centre that could accommodate a major requirement in excess of 25,000 sq ft, and any larger requirements would need to be met by a pre let.

is considered the best suite in Lloyds Court.- Explore removal of the break option with Nigel Wright.- Consider light refurbishment of the common areas of Lloyds Court to support both letting and rental

growth prospects.- Instigate upcoming rent review on Fitzgerald’s which is passing off a low £29.62 psf ground floor rate.
