Javelin Global Commodities has taken all 21,473 sq ft of available office space at Grosvernor’s Ice Factory next to Eccleston Yards in London.
The 28,900 sq ft repurposed warehouse, which was built in 1830 for Shingleton’s Ice Company, spans five floors at 27 Eccleston Place and in addition to workspace the building also boasts retail and a rooftop restaurant/bar.
The revitalised Ice Factory, which was designed by Buckley Gray Yeoman, has been extended by two floors, with the original pitched roof replaced with a new saw-line tooth roofline and the interiors updated to create a more sustainable building.
Key elements of the original building have been restored, including the majority of the façade, the stock brickwork, the original ironwork and its arched openings, and in line with Grosvenor’s sustainability commitments both parties have agreed green lease provisions. Javelin is expected to move into the space early next year.
Phillip George, project director at Grosvenor Property UK, said: “Agreeing a pre-letting with Javelin is testament to the Ice Factory’s unique blend of heritage, versatility and its great location. The Ice Factory further cements the burgeoning offer of the Belgravia area, with its immediate access to transport hubs, its popular retail, food and well-being offer in nearby Elizabeth Street and Grosvenor’s award-winning development at Eccleston Yards.
Peter Bradley, CEO at Javelin Global Commodities, added: “This unique workspace and location are synonymous with the ethos of Javelin. A bright, vibrant, and engaging place to work which will support the future growth of our company.”
