Department for Education Building

Situation

The Department for Education building fronts Butts Road, adjacent the former technical college. The two buildings form the main frontage of the Earlsdon Park development providing a blend of historic and modern architecture that the scheme is known for. Immediately north west of the Department for Education building is Coventry rugby clubs stadium, whilst to the rear and accessed off Albany Road is the 262 Extra Care faciliy which incorporates residential units and a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, café’s, bars and a gym. Between the Department for Education building and the Extra Care development is a commercial and residential development opportunity.

Description

The Department for Education Building is a modern, Grade A, headquarters office building completed in 2009 with an impressive double height ground floor reception, large central atrium, ground floor retail/leisure opportunity and an incorporated multi-story car park.

The specification of the building includes:

• Raised floors with a 320mm clear void

• Chilled beam comfort cooling

• Clear floor to ceiling height of 2.7m

• Suspended ceilings with integral uplighters

• Three 13 person passenger lifts

Department for Education Building:

Schedule of Areas

Occupation

The office accommodation is let to the Department for Education for a maximum term of 20 years commencing 24 July 2009, by way of four separate leases under a single agreement. The leases are for an average term of 15 years from 24.07.09, however the lease allows for any of the leases to be terminated upon not less than 12 months’ notice, subject to satisfying a “Minimum Floor Area Days Condition” to ensure the landlord enjoys the same minimum income as they would have were the tenant to have occupied all four floors until 23rd July 2024, up to a maximum term of 20 years. The passing rent of the four occupational leases is £1,211,301 which reflects £18.00 per sq ft.

Example of the Break Mechanism

There are numerous permutations of how this clause can operate however we have provided a simple example below, which demonstrates the basic purpose of the lease: Should the Department for Education serve notice to exercise their option to break on a single floor (say 7th) effective as at April 2016, the earliest the tenant would then be able to break on any other single floor would be 2022.

Car Parking

The Department for Education have 130 demised car parking spaces and the right to call upon a further 266 spaces.

Premier Inn have exclusive rights to over 80 spaces.

Former Technical College

Situation

The former technical college fronts Butts Road, adjacent the Department for Education Building. The two buildings form the main frontage of the Earlsdon Park Development, providing a blend of historic and modern architecture that the scheme is known for. The surrounding land uses include residential, offices, student accommodation, leisure and stadia in the form of Coventry Rugby Club’s ground, demonstrating the truly mixed use nature of this area of the city centre.

Description

The former technical college is an imposing four storey neo-classical building, completed in 1935. The building is in a ‘C’ shaped formation, with a theatre sitting in the centre of the ‘C’. The building is the most significant landmark in the area, which includes a 100 room Premier Inn hotel on the 2nd and 3rd floors, a 620 seat theatre and two and a half floors currently in a shell condition. The building benefits from a full height reception which provides access to the main foyer, the ground floor dedicated reception for Premier Inn and access to the Albany Theatre to the rear.

The Premier Inn provides 100 rooms aligned with the corporate specification.

The part ground, first and second floors are currently in a shell condition and provide potential for high quality offices in a prestigious address, but also residential and student accommodation opportunities, subject to planning. There are ongoing discussions with occupiers for the vacant office accommodation.

The Albany Theatre is an impressive, art deco style, 620 seat theatre with a part stain glassed vaulted ceiling, stage, production and preparation areas. The building was designed in 1919 and opened in 1935. The theatre was reopened as part of the Earlsdon Park development in 2013, prior to which a large amount of refurbishment had been undertaken. The theatre is home to a range of local companies as well as hosting professional productions.

Development Site

Situation

The development site is situated to the rear of the Former Technical College and accessed off Albany Road. The site is split into two separate areas, which separate the predominantly commercial uses in the buildings fronting Butts Road and the Extra Care Village at the rear of the Earlsdon Park scheme. Albany Road is predominantly made up of residential land uses, which include traditional Victorian semi-detached houses and more modern, 1960/70s low rise apartment schemes.

Description

The development site extends to approximately 1.48 acres of cleared development sites capable of uses including offices, retail, residential and potentially student housing. Due to the current layout and the surrounding land uses, the sites would be capable of accommodating both apartments or lower density housing, although this would be subject to planning.

Planning

The planning consents regarding the development sites apply to four proposed blocks. Blocks C & D which run parallel and front Albany Road are consented for 90 residential apartments under planning consent FUL/2013/0085.

The second area of the development site which runs parallel with Butts Road, situated behind The Former Technical College, is noted in the planning application and schematic drawing as commercial building blocks E & F. Under The aforementioned planning consent Blocks E & F are consented for 50,000sq ft of offices or 120 apartments.

Area

• The residential site

(blocks C & D) extends

to 0.85 acres.

• Commercial blocks E & F

extends to 0.62 acres.
