R O A D Edinburgh has excellent road communications with direct access to the national motorway network. The city is served by the M8 from the west (Glasgow and Livingston), the M90/A9 from the north (Aberdeen and Inverness) and the A1 and A7 from the south/south east (the Borders, East Lothian and Newcastle).

Centrica is situated next to West Granton bus terminus and can be easily accessed via public transport. Lothian 24, 38, 47, 113, X37 and X47 all stop outside the building while Lothian 8, 14, 16, X29, N16 and Skylink 200 all stop on West Granton Road which is only a 6 minute walk from the building.

A I REdinburgh Airport is located 8 miles west of the city centre and is easily accessed via the motorway network or directly from the city centre by bus or tram. The airport is Scotland’s busiest airport and it is the sixth largest international airport in the UK. This year, passenger numbers hit a record high with close to 1.5 million passengers in the month of July 2018, up 6.3% on the same month in 2017.

Edinburgh Airport was sold to Global Infrastructure Partners for £800m in April 2012. The new owners secured deals with airlines, including EasyJet, Virgin Atlantic and Qatar Airways, to increase the number of destinations

served from Edinburgh and increase the number of flights to existing destinations. Since their ownership, £25 million has been spent on a new landside terminal extension, security hall and £19 million south east pier extension. Over the next few years, there is to be additional retail, improved check in and immigration facilities included as part of a £125 million investment programme.

With over 37 airlines operating from Edinburgh, the terminal offers both business and leisure travellers a choice of some 153 destinations across the globe.

The stations provide direct train services to and from London on the east coast rail network and are easily reached from other main English towns and cities, as well as providing Scottish services to all major centres.

T R A MThe existing tram currently runs from Edinburgh Airport to York Place.

The project is due for commencement at the end of March 2019 with a target opening in early 2023. Phase 1B will further extend the line from Newhaven, through Granton Waterfront and linking to Roseburn and the existing line. The extension will connect the airport, city centre, Leith and Newhaven adding to the already excellent communication links to the property.

Centrica lies within the Edinburgh Waterfront, a length of coastline running from Granton Harbour to the Leith Docks which will be significantly regenerated. In 2018, the Council purchased Forthquarter, increasing their holdings in the area to over 120 acres providing the opportunity for coordinated re-generation.

The City of Edinburgh Council along with its partners; National Galleries of Scotland, National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh College, Scottish Government and Scottish Futures Trust, will work together to engage the community to shape plans to revamp the site which has over the last two decades been subject to slow and piecemeal development.

Edinburgh’s occupier market is currently experiencing historically high levels of demand with critically low supply. Increased leasing has driven vacancy rates down with overall office vacancy in Edinburgh currently at 2.9%, the lowest on record. Grade A vacancy is even more severe, with rates of just 0.23%.

Edinburgh’s office market recorded a solid year of activity in 2018 with nearly 1 million sq ft of space let, but a lack of new Grade A space is set to leave the market severely short of accommodation in 2019. A total of 970,000 sq ft was transacted in 2018, well above the five-year average, and just behind 2017’s record breaking year of 1,100,000 sq ft.

Speculative development has been very limited and any developments which have commenced have experienced strong interest on a pre-let basis. There are only two speculative schemes under construction in Edinburgh – Capital Square, due to complete in 2020, which has 60% pre-let already to Brodies and Pinsent Masons, and The Mint Building, due to complete in 2019, and fully pre-let to Baillie Gifford. This highlights a key trend – as space becomes increasingly tight, many occupiers are addressing upcoming requirements earlier, driving up pre-leasing.

This increasing demand and critical supply imbalance is putting pressure on rental levels.

The city attracts investment on a truly global basis, with over 50% of volumes annually accounted for by overseas investors. Despite transaction volumes being a record high for Scotland in the first half of 2018, the level of openly available stock in Edinburgh has been limited, with a number of key transactions taking place off-market. For prime office buildings, there are high levels of demand from a range of investors and a lack of stock to satisfy their requirements. Prime yields in the city are currently 4.75%.

T H E U K R E A L E S T A T E L E N D I N G M A R K E TA broad lender audience, stable lender competition and continued historically low interest rates ensure accretive financing solutions are available.

The UK lending market remains robust. UK banks are well capitalised.

The pool of lenders active in the UK remains diverse and alternative lenders are becoming more competitive as UK banks seek opportunities lower down the risk curve.

Secure income from a property such as this will be attractive to a number of lenders and competition between them will ensure low margin pricing.

The JLL Debt Advisory team have discussed in principle terms with lenders and have been provided with the following outline terms:

Remaining Capital Allowances are available by separate negotiation, further information is available in the dataroom.

E P CThe property has an EPC rating of “B”. A copy of the Energy Performance Certificate is available in the data room.

VA TThe property has been elected for VAT and therefore VAT will be payable on the purchase price. However, it is anticipated that the sale will be treated as a Transfer of a Going Concern (TOGC).

D A T A R O O MA data room has been set up and details can be provided by the selling agents to interested parties.

P R O P O S A LOffers are invited in excess of £24,000,000 (Twenty-Four Million Pounds Sterling) for the share capital in the Guernsey domiciled SPV which owns the asset.

A purchase at this level would represent a net initial yield of 6.79% and a low capital value per sq.ft of £255, based on purchaser’s costs of 1.80%. Offers for the asset will also be considered.
