FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Independent full-service property real estate advisory business, SHW, has been appointed to oversee the facilities management for Norfolk House in Croydon, marking a significant step in the management of the property following its recent acquisition by a private investor.
The mixed-use complex, comprising shopping, hotel and office spaces, benefits from its proximity to East Croydon Station, enhancing its accessibility and appeal. The involvement of SHW, which extends from commercial property management to acting as letting agent, forms a strategic approach to optimising the scheme’s potential, leveraging its substantial square footage to attract a diverse range of tenants and visitors.
Situated on a 1.84-acre site, Norfolk House totals 160,672 sq ft, including a 149-bed, 60,000 sq ft Travelodge Hotel, 40,228 sq ft of offices space and 60,444 sq ft of retail. The property is multi-let to tenants including McDonalds, Clydesdale Bank, Moss Bros and Greggs.
Tarniah Thompson of SHW said of the contract award: “We’re thrilled to share that Norfolk House has officially joined our property portfolio and we look forward to working in collaboration with our Property Management team to deliver an exceptional property and facilities service at Norfolk House. We understand that each property has unique needs and challenges. Our dedicated FM team is committed to leveraging their expertise and innovative solutions to optimise the performance of Norfolk House and exceed the expectations of our client and tenants.”
As environmental protection demands unified action, transparency, and heightened awareness, Biological Preparations has launched an initiative to catalyse sustainability efforts within the FM sector.
FM businesses face unique challenges and heightened expectations of eco-initiatives from their clients. Yet, behind the scenes in FM businesses, many environmental initiatives, rollouts and even planning, are not broadcasted and transparent.
