Filed under: Best Realty Resources, Business Affairs, Plugging — admin at 4:33 am on Monday, April 12, 2010

As new office space demand begins to rise again in the Capital the scratched development plan for the Cheesegrater in the City of London may be back on.

British Land stated this week that they were seriously considering reviving a few of the projects that were dumped as a result of the recession, including the tower that was meant to be one of the tallest within the City at 122 Leadenhall Street.

News of the possible return of the Cheesgrater came at the same time that the developer and landlord firm has let a total of 465,000 sq ft of office space in London since February of 2010 and is in the process of securing lets on an additional 154,000 sq ft of space. Overall, rents have increased by a little over ten percent in the past six months.

British Land chief executive Chris Grigg stated that the firm is posed to come out on top of the recovery by sizing up the high demand of quality desk space London of which there is a shortage. He continued to say that many developments that looked impossible just nine months ago are now back on the table.

The Cheesegrater was originally billed to stand tall at 736ft and officially will be known as The Leadenhall Building which will offer 612,000 sq of office space to the area. Its nickname comes from the fact that it would be built much like a wedge shape so as not to obscure the profile view of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The 200ft high Capella development located in the International Financial Services District in Glasgow was sold to British Airways Pension Trustees for the grand total of £25m.

Once the complete Capella is completely let it will be the only development on the Glasgow Wall street area that will have leisure and shopping facilities built into it.

There will be about 5,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space and an additional 111,000 sq ft of office space rental.

The investment chief Bill Binnie stated that the large scale deal certifies that the building is high quality as evidenced by the amount of investors who bid on the building. He continued to state that many see Glasgow as one of the only office centres that show true potential for growth and an increase for lettings against the rough economic conditions.

The law firm of MacRoberts LLP has already signed into a let for 33,500 sq ft across the top four floors at the rate of £27 per sq ft. The lease is for 15 years.

Since the International Financial Services District was first launched in 2001 it has been able to create over 15,000 jobs, 2m sq ft of top notch office space, and around one billion pounds of investment revenue.

Communication through Print Media

Filed under: Great Printing Tips, Life Of Marketing, Plugging — admin at 11:38 pm on Thursday, November 5, 2009

Communication is just as imperative in business as it is in private relationships. For the most part businesses are aware of this but may not know how and when to accurately apply communication techniques.
In today’s highly charged business atmosphere, overcoming communication barriers is necessary - in particular early on in the sales process. Don’t forget that customers are won or lost at the top of the sales funnel. Therefore it is imperative that your communication tools such as your color brochures do their job in the initial stages of the sales process. Visit us online .
This procedure can be achieved by developing a good communication strategy. Here are three tools of an efficient sales and marketing communication strategy:
1. Personalize it. The business is not just about making money. It is also about building relationships. Relationships are significant for customers. Customers are willing to splurge more just because they have a long standing trustworthy relationship with a specific business. Your brochure printing therefore must strive to enhance relationships. Color brochures, for example, can acquaint the company in a very private approach. Click here for more information .
2. Customize communication for both industry and position. A manufacturing industry would have a different concern with a service oriented company. It is valuable to make each individual understand that you identify their unique needs, consequently, can focus on their precise problems. Contact us online .
3. Use best discipline to separate your sales pitch from the competition. To ensure that your customers or clients do not overlook you, use timely reminders. Send out your brochures to an event in advance. That way you call the attention of prospective customers even before he comes to the event- not when they are already talking to your competitors.
Ultimately, the basis to successful business communication is producing a message that your audience wants to hear. Your audience is interested to know how you would respond to their needs in a timely, reliable and professional manner.

Southampton May Have to Wait for its New City Office Block

Filed under: Best Realty Resources, Business Affairs, Plugging — admin at 6:48 am on Thursday, September 3, 2009

Construction of a new ten-storey apartment block in the heart of Southampton has been recently approved by city bosses. However, the present credit crunch and lack of a suitable tenant for the complex has delayed work on the building.

The new glass-fronted building will come up on the corner of Grosvenor and Cumberland Place, in place of the current Norwich Union building. The new building is likely to be called the Grosvenor House and once completed, will be able to accommodate shared office space for 500 staff members or a major business headquarters.

Premier Property Group (PPG) that is responsible for the building said that as no tenant has yet been finalized for the building, it has been difficult to get bank credit for the project to begin. The work will proceed only when a suitable client can be found.

The new building has been designed by Archial, a Scottish Architecture firm. It has ten storeys, one less than the original plan, due to opposition from English Heritage. It is likely to be the subject of further negotiation between the promoters and the city development council in the coming days.

As per the council’s plans, another smaller office building is coming up next to the new construction, with future plans for a number of high-grade offices in the area on the lines of East Park Terrace and Mayflower Point. However, all plans are currently in suspension due to dearth of clients and shortage of credit.

Kids Love a Drinking Water Fountain

Filed under: Business Affairs, Counseling, Plugging — admin at 10:24 am on Friday, June 12, 2009

A few weeks ago, we heard a spate of queries from primary schools about our drinking water fountains. The first question was from a school in Lincoln who are looking to be able to supply drinking water for all kids in every schoolroom. The Victorian primary school was wanting to replace aging sinks in each classroom with a modern wall mounted fountain sink. This simple unit has very small measurements and merely has a bubbler for children to sup from. With wall mounted sinks the drinking water comes right from the mains supply, is excreted through a water filter if essential and flows out of the bubbler when a simple release is squeezed. The basicshape of wall mounted sink has no chilling unit and thus the water comes out of the bubbler at mains water temperature. The second query was for an outdoor freestanding water fountain for the middle of a childrens playground. There are many fountains made in the UK that are appropriate for great usage outdoor surrounds. We could find three particular fountains that suited the remit and also one that has been specially built for a primary school where the drinking area is at 800mm rather than the 1 metre suited to adults.
