The property is located on the east side of Underwood Street which leads onto Shepherdess Walk to the west and Nile Street to the south. 6-14 Underwood Street is positioned at the heart of Europe’s digital capital in the Tech City area of London and is less than 650 metres from Old Street Roundabout, known as ‘Silicon Roundabout’ due to the increasing number of technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) companies choosing to relocate to the area.

Old Street Roundabout itself is due to undergo a £25 million investment programme to transform the area into a thriving destination in the middle of Tech City.

T E C H C I T YIn recent years the Northern City Fringe has seen a wide range of changes in both social and economic terms, which has been reflected in the local property market. The epicentre of the UK’s technology industry is London’s Tech City, located within the Northern City Fringe market, which has been the focus of a much publicised Government drive to attract investment and provide an environment in which the fledgling digital, creative and high technology sectors can thrive, in hope of establishing the location as a world-class technology powerhouse comparable with Silicon Valley in the US.

As a result of this growth, Tech City and Silicon Roundabout have established themselves as the pre-eminent location for tech occupiers within the London market and as one of the City’s strongest sub markets. The areas notoriety and reputation as a tech hub has resulted in its own individual character, with young creative brands working alongside traditional corporate occupiers. There are now more than 250,000 employees among 1,500 companies either located or due to locate to the area. Major tenants include Amazon, Google, Facebook, Sillicon Valley Bank, Soundcloud, Yammer, Airbnb and Uber.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENTS

The Tech City area has seen a boom in development activity in recent years and a number of landmark office schemes have begun to appear on the skyline of the Northern City Fringe. This trend has, for the large part, come as a result of the changing demand from occupiers within the TMT sectors, for whom it is necessary to be located close to other firms within their sector, and also benefit from the location’s proximity to both the City core – London’s financial hub, and to the traditionally more creative and fashionable areas of North East London.

In residential terms the area has seen interest from developers hoping to benefit from the ever increasing popularity of North East London, with areas such as Shoreditch and Dalston having seen a meteoric rise in popularity with young professionals in recent years. Subsequently, the area has become a focal point for mixed-use development in London, and is likely to continue to establish itself over the next decade.
