DOMINANT GLOBAL TECH & FINANCIAL HUB
COMMERCE
London has a long history of being the dominant global financial hub and a critical artery for the flow of money around the world.
The financial services sector accounts for around 12% of Britain’s economic output, employing around 1.1 million people and paying more taxes than any other industry.
Around a third of Fortune 500 companies are head-quartered in London, which has the fifth largest urban economy in the world with 4.3 million people employed.
London is represented by over 250 global banks and is the world’s leading insurance and re-insurance market, being the only City in the world where all the top 20 insurance firms are active.
TECHNOLOGY
The creative and tech sectors have been one of the main contributors to London and the UK’s economy over the past five years.
London is regarded as one of the most important tech hubs in Europe and is the capital of digital media, with digital job growth anticipated to outperform all other sectors by 2020.
Although the Financial and Insurance sectors remain key drivers for the City of London, the Telecoms, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) sector continues to experience exponential growth. Aldgate and London’s Tech Belt around the City Fringe continues to attract these occupiers with its large floorplates in character buildings, surrounded and complimented by excellent amenities.

Ibex House is ideally located to benefit from the growth of Aldgate and Whitechapel into one of London’s most vibrant and diverse sub-markets.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
HERITAGE APPRAISAL
Ibex House is a rare surviving example of a streamlined “Moderne” style 1930s office building in Central London. It was designed by a firm of little known architects, Fuller, Foulsham and Hall in 1937 and restored by Rolfe Judd between 1994 and 1995. The building is notable for its faience exterior and unbroken fenestration. The interior of the building has been updated to suit modern office requirements and has few visible traces of its original appearance. Although Ibex House is a Grade II Listed building, it is considered that its heritage significance lies mainly in its striking external appearance. There is scope for further reworking of its modernised interior and reconfiguration of the lobby and retail fronting Minories, subject to obtaining all the necessary consents.
A heritage report has been commissioned by Heritage Collective, exploring the parameters for refurbishment of the property, a full copy of which can be found on the data room.
ASSET MANAGEMENT POTENTIAL
Ibex House provides numerous asset management opportunities in the short to medium term.
Short term
The property benefits from well-timed lease events providing the opportunity to drive rental income through capitalising on the highly reversionary passing rent of £34.68 per sq ft.
19,625 sq ft will be vacant on completion offering an immediate opportunity to refurbish and re-let, setting a new rental tone within the building.
Rental evidence in neighbouring comparable buildings is in the region of £52.50 psf - £57.50 psf.
Medium term
Timely lease expiries and tenant breaks allow for a favourable rolling program to reposition and refurbish the building to appeal to the TMT occupier base that is increasingly active in the area.
Potential to explore opportunities for change of use (subject to achieving the necessary consents).

ALDGATE MARKET COMMENTARY
Following a dip in activity in the wake of Brexit, it is the consensus view that London’s long term growth story remains unchanged following the referendum.
The strong fundamentals of the London office market has seen occupiers, TMT firms in particular, showing no signs of slowing down. Overseas capital continues to flow into London attracted by the transparency of an established legal system, low interest rates (further buoyed by favourable sterling-US Dollar currency rates) and the City’s ability to attract and sustain a skilled talent pool. These characteristics have maintained the London market’s strong position in terms of the national and international real estate markets.
Central London’s office market has continued to attract international investment, 2017 saw investment volumes totalling £12.64bn in the City which was 56% higher than turnover in 2016, 57% up on the 10-year average and the highest figure on record.
Take up for 2017 reached over 6.5 million sq ft representing a 10% increase on the 10-year average. Vacancy rates are currently at c.5.6%, sitting well below the long term average of 6.6%.
The development pipeline for the City and City Fringe market remains tight, with approximately 3.8 million sq ft of stock due to be delivered per annum between 2019 and 2020, a large percentage of which has already been pre-let.
Prime rents remain at £68.50 per sq ft with premium rents in excess of £70.00 per sq ft still being achieved for ‘Trophy Space’, although there was downward pressure on rents for second-hand stock. Rent free periods on a 10 year term remain at 24 months for the City Core.

As investors become increasingly nervous about the effects of Brexit on the financial services industries associated with the core City market, the popularity of sub-markets associated with the expanding TMT sector such as Aldgate has soared in recent years. Aldgate has demonstrated its appeal to international investors in recent years following the purchase of Aldgate Tower by China Life and Brookfield, reinforcing the location as a major Central London sub-market with international appeal.
Character buildings located within the Tech Belt, such as Ibex House, have experienced particularly strong demand from occupiers.
