The site was acquired from electronics giant Canon – on a subject to planning basis. The 60.000sqft 1980’s office building was previously the company’s UK HQ but was housing only a skeleton staff when we contracted to the purchase in late 2005/early 2006. Planning was acheived in May 2007 for a development of 174 residential apartments above 22,500sqft of mixed business and retail space at ground level. The consented site was eventually sold to Weston Homes and the construction completed in 2010.
