The residential complex is grouped around the proposed new home of the Design Museum at the south of Holland Park. The Design Museum was founded in 1989 by Sir Terence Conran and opened at the new Kensington location in September 2016 after having been situated by the River Thames near Tower Bridge. The museum is a showcase for leading contemporary design and architecture that is predicted to attract 500,000 visitors each year. It provides a restaurant, gift shop, a library, an events space and a 202 seat auditorium.
THE DESCRIPTION The building forms part of a parade of retail and restaurant units most of which date from the late 19th and early 20th century and are all distinct architecture and design. The subject property was built in 1891 by John Barker & Co. builders and comprises a 5 storey midterraced, period property of brick construction with pitched tiled roof. The building is arranged over basement, ground and 3 upper floors and has been substantially extended to the rear at ground and basement levels. There is one single entrance to the restaurant and upper parts by way of a ground floor lobby but this could easily be separated to create a dedicated residential entrance. The restaurant unit was completely refurbished in 2015 to include a new kitchen, food preparation and storage areas together with a fully fitted dining/bar area and toilet facilities. The restaurant has approx. 70 covers. The upper parts have also been totally refurbished to provide studio apartments which are currently used for staff accommodation.

TENANT S REFURBISHM The tenant has undertaken a thorough internal and external repairing programme. This included a complete refurbishment of the ground floor restaurant, new kitchen and food storage/preparation areas, toilets at basement level and a refurbishment of the residential accommodation above ground. MARKET COMMARY We have analysed the existing rental level on the basis of an overall ground floor rental of c 67.00 psf with 50% rent on basement and 25% of this on basement storage and amenity areas. The upper parts are not self-contained and we have therefore assumed an office/storage rate on these areas of between 10-20 psf. The most recent and relevant evidence is the letting of 29 Kensington High Street to Cavalli Restaurant in November 2016. The entire building equates to c3,830 sq ft overall and the commencing rental was 200,000pa. It is our opinion, therefore, that 11 Kensington High Street is already significantly reversionary based on this new letting. INVESTM MARKET The most significant investment transaction in the immediate vicinity is 3a Kensington High Street, W8 A self-contained public house, The Goat Tavern, of c4,518 sq ft. Freehold and let in its entirety to the Spirit Pub Company. The price paid was c 8.22m reflecting a net initial yield of 3.49% and a price psf of 1,838.
