The Fiera Real Estate UK network has had a fantastic couple of weeks, having received five shortlistings for this year’s EG, IAS and Insider Yorkshire Property Awards! Opus North and Fiera Real Estate UK are jointly celebrating two shortlistings for their prime office scheme in Leeds, 12 King Street. The pair teamed up to develop the city’s’ ‘most energy efficient’ refurbished office building, which completed earlier this year. Prior to on-site works commencing, Fiera Real Estate UK and Opus North worked with DLA Architecture to design the new scheme with health, wellbeing and sustainability in mind, including conducting a thorough life cycle assessment to identify the embodied carbon of all the materials and construction.
Since completion, the building has achieved:
- 14% reduction in carbon emissions
- 29% less energy consumption for heating and cooling
- 42% less water consumption
- BREEAM Excellent rating (the second most prestigious score available, which places 12 King Street in the top 10% of buildings for best practice)
- EPC rating improvement from E to A
Another one of our Operating Partners, Wrenbridge, is celebrating three shortlistings across the EG and IAS awards for its amazing work in the logistics space. Over the past 12 months, Wrenbridge has worked on several multi-let schemes in Waltham Cross, Houghton Regis, Bedford, Dartford, and Aylesford. Owing to the high-specification, stellar location and leading sustainability credentials of each scheme, the majority are fully let less than one year post-PC.
The last year has seen Wrenbridge complete the development/sale of over 1m sq ft of Grade A industrial and logistics space, submit planning for a further 1.1m sq ft, and it is currently developing 3m sq ft across 30 live projects with a combined GDV of £1.4bn…It’s position as a triple finalist is certainly deserved!
The Fiera Real Estate UK team is looking forward to celebrating these fantastic schemes with our Operating Partners later this year.
