Richmond Riverside – Yard Nine

Richmond Riverside was acquired in September 2008 with JP Morgan. Located in the heart of Richmond, with frontage to the River Thames, the mixed-use investment provides high quality, office, retail, leisure and residential accommodation totalling approximately 158,000 sq ft.

Richmond Riverside is a true mixed-use scheme comprising office, retail, residential and leisure space. Underlying the asset was income from a diverse range of tenants – albeit there were opportunities to enhance the performance of the asset by the active management of rent reviews, lease re-gears, estate management and a rolling refurbishment programme.

Regular focus meetings with occupiers ensured our team developed a deep understanding of their needs and acting on these ensured loyalties toward the scheme and implementation of a successful asset management strategy.

Understanding both the obvious and hidden synergies between the various uses ensured occupier retention and attraction, and through this rental growth was experienced. The scheme is let to businesses including eBay, Whistles, Phase 8 and Pitcher & Piano.

The Estate was sold in January 2014 on fulfilment of the business plan.
