Waterloo Estate
Our Waterloo Estate dominates an entire island block on Waterloo Road, directly opposite the train and underground stations, comprising three significant properties with substantial redevelopment potential.
Capital Tower is a 12-storey international business centre, ideally located next to Waterloo Station, one of Britain’s busiest transport hubs. It consists of both serviced and managed offices, with a variety of meeting rooms, conference facilities, and support services, all actively managed by our Commercial Property Division. The site also contains a dedicated underground car park and a secure delivery area, accessed from the rear of the tower.
Mercury House contains the Waterloo Business Centre on the upper floors, with a parade of retail spaces on the ground floor and basement, extending to 40,327sq. ft. Waterloo Business Centre is directly managed by the Commercial Property Divison. In 2007 we launched the Waterloo Brasserie, the latest of the Leisure Division’s restaurants. This rapidly became the foremost local and destination restaurant for the Old Vic, the Estate and the Waterloo Community.
The Waterloo Estate also includes other important retail and office space on the Waterloo Road and Cornwall Road.
Vision
Perfectly located next to Waterloo Station, a short distance from the West End, and in close proximity to cultural landmarks such as The Old Vic and Southbank Centre, the Waterloo Estate has considerable potential as proposed in the Waterloo Development Framework prepared by Lambeth Council. There is considerable opportunity for redevelopment of our Estate alongside the proposals for Waterloo Station.
Within Bourne Capital’s redevelopment plans for their island site adjacent to Waterloo Station an opportunity has been identified to build Central London’s largest auditorium, a new cultural epicentre for Europe designed for major events and global conferences and to seat 10,000 people. Although plans are at an early stage, this scheme promises to make a pronounced impact on London’s cultural fabric, attracting the world’s attention, and securing London’s place as the international centre for culture.
