new Milton Keynes developments

and market commentary

Milton Keynes is set for significant future growth with plans for the city to double in size and is projected to become the 14th largest city in the United Kingdom by 2031. With total office accommodation of over 7 million sq ft Milton Keynes has suffered from a lack of supply, especially in terms of Grade A accommodation. With it’s restricted supply and the on-going expansion of the City, it is expected that rents at all levels will increase over the medium term.

This restricted supply and increasing demand has seen a number of developments across all sectors. A number of comparable transactions are listed below.

the hub:mk which is a new and substantial mixed use development built by Frontier Estates is located immediately adjacent to the subject property on Midsummer Boulevard. There were two notable office pre-lets agreed in May 2007 when 848 sq m (9,130 sq ft) was pre-let to Davis Langdon LLP and 687 sq m (7,395 sq ft) was pre-let to HSBC both for 15 year terms at rents equating to £215 per sq m (£20 per sq ft).

The development provides 75,000 sq ft of retail and leisure accommodation and 100,000 sq ft of office accommodation and also

includes two hotels, Jurys Inn and Encore and 400 high quality plus affordable residential units. Due to its success it has attracted leisure operators such as Brasserie Blanc, Loch Fyne, Café Rouge, DimT, Zizzi and Nando’s.

The catering units within the hub:MK have been consistently achieving between £25-£30 per sq ft over the ground floor and £10 per sq ft for trading at 1st and mezzanine floors. The latest letting was to The Living Room where £30 per sq ft on the ground floor and £10 per sq ft on the 1st floor was achieved within the past 12 months. Frontier Estates are currently working on hub:MKII, the second phase to the adjacent scheme. The development will be located to the rear of CBXII and is planned to provide office and residential accommodation.

the Pinnacle is a new Grade A flagship office development developed by Hampton Brook, located on Midsummer Boulevard, it is expected to be

completed by summer 2009. It will provide the largest office

development in Milton Keynes for 25 years. The scheme will provide a 18,850 sq m (200,000 sq ft) office building. Two pre-lets have been agreed accounting for 40% of the total space to international professional service occupiers at rents equating to £188 per sq m (£17.50 per sq ft).

Other lettings in and

around Milton Keynes:

The Rok Developments scheme at Eastlake Park, located to the east of Milton Keynes city centre comprises approximately 13,935 sq m (150,000 sq ft) of office accommodation. Valois UK Ltd recently took accommodation on the park at £188 per sq m (£17.50 per sq ft), with other transactions regularly achieving £177 per sq m (£16.50 per sq ft).

Wavendon Business Park is a new business park development. A pre-let was signed in May 2007 by Electronic Data Systems who will fully occupy the park. The park comprises approximately 13,000 sq m (140,000 sq ft) and the rent agreed equates to £183 per sq m (£17 per sq ft).

Woodlands Business Park, situated in Linford Wood which is approximately 6.4 km (4 miles) to the north west of central Milton Keynes provides approximately 11,150 sq m (120,000 sq ft) of high specification offices. We understand that achieved rents are approximately £183 per sq m (£17 per sq ft).

Other developments:

West End CMK phase I, will front Witon Gate and Avebury Boulevard. The development will provide two public squares and approximately 650 homes, a new school,

community facilities and a range of commercial and leisure uses.
