Access Self Storage, Charlton

Wright & Partners’ client Access Self Storage have commenced site preparation works on the recently acquired former Royal Mail depot in Bugsby Way, Charlton.   The existing warehouse, totalling approximately 38,500 sq ft on the site of approximately 2.8 acres will be stripped back to the frame and redeveloped to provide approximately 100,000 sq ft of self storage accommodation and 20,000 sq ft of office space which Access will let out to their customers.  In addition there will be approximately 20,000 sq ft of warehouse units to the rear of the site which is already under offer, by way of a prelet, for storage purposes.   Wright & Partners introduced the site to Access and assisted in the negotiations with the vendors, Royal Mail.  This new facility is needed to replace Access’s current facility in nearby Greenwich with a lease expiry in late 2015.  After two very competitive rounds of bidding, Access managed to secure the property and are on schedule to have the new facility operational by the summer of next year.
