Nash Houses Hulking Replacement

Published on 01-09-2010 by Skyscrapernews.com
The regeneration of the London borough of Ealing is continuing apace with plans from architecture firm Tate Hindle for the demolition of the existing Nash House office building and the construction of a new more modern mixed-use replacement.

The current building, like many office buildings of its size in the area, is an eight storey affair built in the 1960s, and now obsolete in terms of the office space that it offers. Set parallel to the neighbouring Old Oak Lane, it will be replaced by a new building that varies from six to eight floors in height with the building split clearly into two elements to break up the sprawling site.

On the southern third will be the shorter element complete sert back from the ground floor retail with a recessed upper floor to further reduce its profile. Separating it from the main section of the building will be a service core with exposed glazed staircase acting as a clear visual boundary between it and the longer building that sprawls along Old Oak Lane. This too will have ground floor retail with full height glazing to create animated shop fronts.

Within Nash Houses replacement, the developer BNB Developments is aiming to construct 323 student beds averaging 18 square metres, except for the disabled who get 25 square metres.

These are highly favoured by many developers at the moment who find they provide excellent yields with some operators reporting returns of 9 to 9.5% per year with a stable income, far more than any other sector of property at present.

In addition to this there will also be 2,953 square metres of office space, and 462 square metres of retail space, plus a further 190 square metres of flexible commercial or community space, and 26 parking spaces.
