Wrenbridge Land and Palmer Capital have announced commencement of works on the speculative redevelopment of the Woking One, an office-led mixed use scheme located directly opposite Woking Station. This 65,000 sq. ft. scheme will create a vibrant mixed use community in the heart of the town combining 34,000 sq. ft. of offices, 14,500 sq. ft. of new restaurant space and mix of additional residential and retail. The first restaurant letting has been secured to Limeyard, who are part of the Cote Group.
The scheme includes the creation of a new piazza between the railway station and Woking One which includes removal of the existing canopy and new public realm.
Upon completion, which is scheduled for February 2018, Woking One will offer eight floors of new office space including a new modern reception area fronting the station piazza. The scheme will deliver a new gateway into Woking Town centre creating new jobs and amenities.
The scheme marks another notable new development for the town centre. New schemes include Victoria Square comprising 391 residential units and a new 62,000 sq ft. M&S and Prime Place’s 560 apartment scheme on Goldsworth Road.
Bray Fox Smith and Strutt & Parker are acting for Wrenbridge and Palmer Capital in relation to the offices and Smith Price and Bruce Gillingham Pollard in relation to the new restaurants and retail space.
Chris White, Director at Wrenbridge, said: “The proximity to the station means that Woking One is positioned to offer unrivalled connectivity to London from Woking. The journey time to London is only 24 minutes. The location, combined with the high specification of the offices and amenities including the new restaurants will ensure that Woking One appeals to a breath of occupiers.”
