Construction starts on 5 Broadgate

Posted on Thursday, 1 March 2012 by Buildington

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon George Osborne MP, today championed continued investment in the City of London as he marked the start of construction of a new building for Swiss bank UBS at 5 Broadgate.

The Chancellor joined British Land Chief Executive Chris Grigg, Blackstone Senior Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Europe Chad Pike, and senior representatives of UBS at a groundbreaking event to celebrate the start of construction.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Rt Hon George Osborne MP said: “There have been those who tried to block the redevelopment of the Broadgate site, but this Government has helped see the project through, so we can send an important message to the world – that Britain is open for business and is unashamedly pro enterprise.

“This new site, in the heart of the City, signals the confidence placed in London as the world’s leading financial centre. The scheme will benefit not only from the Government’s Crossrail investment at Liverpool Street station, but will also protect up to 7,000 jobs in the City, and create over 5,000 new construction jobs.

Chris Grigg, Chief Executive of British Land added: “UBS’s commitment to the City of London and Broadgate demonstrates London’s global appeal as a major financial centre. The 5 Broadgate development will not only help to retain jobs in the City but will also create thousands more during its construction. British Land is also on site at five other office developments as part of our £1.1 billion investment in Central London which is creating a total of over 15,000 construction jobs.”

Ulrich Koerner, CEO UBS Group Europe Middle East and Africa said:” UBS’s roots in the UK date back to 1898 when the Swiss Bankverein (which later became Swiss Bank Corporation and then UBS), became the first Swiss bank to establish a presence in London. The development of such an impressive new office signals the continuation of UBS’s long and successful relationship with the UK, the City of London and Broadgate. We hope its powerful design will reflect UBS’s own strength and solidity, as one of the best capitalized banks in the world.”

Chad Pike of Blackstone added: “UBS’s decision to consolidate its London headquarters in 5 Broadgate is an important decision that sends a message of belief in London as a world class financial centre. We are proud to be here to mark this occasion.”

On completion in 2014, the occupied 12 storey building, designed by leading architectural practice Make, will provide 700,000 square feet of Grade ‘A’ office space. It will also meet the highest standards of sustainability in terms of energy performance, responsible specification and procurement of materials, and the provision of facilities to support sustainable employee behaviour. The new building will include up to four trading floors, each able to accommodate approximately 750 traders, allowing UBS to consolidate its London trading operations into one building.

How did they do?

The house where Vincent van Gogh lived from 1873-1874 was sold at the Savills national auction for £565,000. Van Gogh’s stay at Hackford Road is recorded with an English Heritage blue plaque. In addition, to commemorate the fact Van Gogh lived here, the Van Gogh Museum of Amsterdam produced a gold medal and presented it to the current owners which will be given to the new purchaser. Russell Taylor, Savills Auctions commented, “we had a number of bidders vying for the property but the winning bid was to an arts enthusiast who had a great admiration for Van Gogh.”

The national, international and regional coverage for this property was overwhelming with radio stations and news crews from across the globe wanting to get a glimpse of the former residence of Van Gogh and also filming at the auction.

The auction itself was another triumph, with a success rate of 88% and raising £35,740,450.
