Workman has been appointed by Addington Capital to provide property management, project management and whole life carbon services at Senator House, a 150,000 sq. ft property in the heart of the City.
The building presents new owners Addington Capital with a clear refurbishment opportunity to upgrade the lower floors, creating high-quality Cat-A Offices with enhanced ESG credentials – and is well-timed to take advantage of a shortage in top-quality office stock in the City market.
Actively pursuing “brown to green” projects across Central London, Addington Capital is upgrading buildings with strong fundamentals to create the high quality, ESG-compliant space sought after by today’s occupiers. At Senator House, the ambitious refurbishment project includes works to the vacant office floors, reception, cycle store, and showers, along with the introduction of sustainable technologies.
Matthew Osborne, Partner at Workman, said:
“The project demonstrates how sophisticated real estate management can breathe new life into established commercial properties, balancing the needs of existing tenants with forward-looking investment strategies and business plans. For the regeneration of Senator House, we have set out a collaborative and carefully managed approach, in line with Addington Capital’s plan for strategic property improvements. We are committed to streamlining works and maintaining positive occupier relationships.”
Early engagement with the ESG team, and the provision of a pre-refurbishment audit to understand the potential for reuse and recycling shows a real commitment to circular economy principles. This will be developed through the provision of Whole Life Carbon Assessments at both design and completion stages, led by Danielle Dinneen, Sustainability Consultant and whole life carbon modelling expert within Workman’s ESG team, as part of a continued drive to minimise embodied and operational carbon as part of the design and decision-making process.
One of the most innovative aspects of this development is Workman’s integrated approach to property management, project delivery, and expert whole life carbon consultancy. By utilising teams from within the same organisation, the project benefits from unrivalled collaboration and efficiency.
The integrated team approach offers multiple advantages. Property managers can provide immediate insights into occupier needs, while project managers can quickly adjust works to minimise disruption. The teams can share knowledge instantly, proactively plan interventions, and ensure smooth communication.
Chris Neil, Partner at Workman, said:
“By comprehensively upgrading the property, Addington Capital aims to enhance its market value and attractiveness to potential occupiers. This three-year transformation plan is designed to position Senator House as a premium office space in one of London’s most competitive commercial districts.”
As urban regeneration projects continue to reshape London’s commercial landscape, the Senator House development stands out as a model of strategic, occupier-focused, and ESG-conscious property transformation.
