Ealing set for its first major office scheme in a decade

Ealing councillors have voted to grant planning permission for a new 15,700m² Grade A steel-framed office development, the first major office scheme in Ealing for almost a decade.

Developer Commercial Estate Group said the scheme will rival office space in the rest of west London, as well as central London. The scheme is said to show post-Brexit confidence in this location and will capitalise on the arrival of Crossrail in Ealing, providing connectivity to Bond Street in just 11 minutes, as well as the continued investment into retail and leisure improvements.

Nick Lee, Head of Commercial Development at CEG, said: “Despite the Brexit uncertainty, we are confident that Ealing offers a fantastic investment opportunity, due to the arrival of Crossrail and the fact that it doesn’t have the office stock to capitalise on the significant enquiries in the market place.

“Our proposals will deliver Ealing’s first new Grade A office space in nearly a decade, enabling it to effectively compete with the West End as a prime business location.”

Demolition is due to commence in April paving the way for CEG to invest nearly £50M in the building project.
