Wallington
Office to Residential
Former Canon Offices
This 80,000sq.ft. office building opposite Wallington station in Surrey was acquired from administrators. The building had previously been Canon’s UK headquarters but was acquired vacant with a residential planning consent about to lapse for 230 flats and 20,000sq.ft. of ground floor retail. There was also litigation running with the bank who owned the freehold. We settled the litigation, merged the long lease with the freehold and finessed the planning. The building was sold profitably to Weston Homes.
