This thriving West End business quarter has a major Euston Road frontage and excellent transport links.

During the year, the letting of a further 4,740 sq m (51,000 sq ft) in 350 Euston Road to the General Medical Council was completed at a rent equating to £39.00 per sq ft pa, and the last available office floor in 350 Euston Road of 1,440 sq m (15,500 sq ft) was let to Balfour Beatty at a rent equating to £39.50 per sq ft. As a result of these lettings, the offices at Regent’s Place are now 100% let and the passing rent of £28.5 million per annum is forecast to increase to £31.1 million per annum by July 2007, as rent free periods expire. This passing rent is slightly lower than last year (£28.9 million), principally as a result of the pre-agreed surrender of the University of Westminster lease in preparation for the further redevelopment of the North East quadrant.

Retail offers within Regent’s Place enhance the estate, including a Sainsbury’s convenience supermarket, Holmes Place Health Club, Starbucks and Prêt à Manger, a Davy’s Wine Bar, hairdressers and a large crèche. 350 Euston Road incorporates further retail units which are available for letting to a mix of tenants.

Based on the Regent’s Place Travel Plan, the transport initiatives at Regent’s Place are featured in Government best practice guidance documents on travel plans.

Triton Square, a large public open space in the heart of Regent’s Place, with a diverse collection of art, has won a Civic Trust Award. Broadgate Estates Limited continues to manage the external and common areas.
