Timing Right To Invest At Harbourside

Aug. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Shrewd property investors are turning to Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development in advance of Hargreaves Lansdown opening its new head quarters.

With occupancy of the new office due to take place later in the year, the number of potential new tenants the office could bring will provide those willing to buy at the development with a steady flow of occupants and good rental income returns.

Since the New Year there has been an upturn in activity from private investors as well as repeat purchase from previous customers. As a result the sales team at the development are saying this is a good sign that confidence in the property sector has returned and now is the time to buy.

Occupying 100,000 sq ft with frontage on Anchor Road, the new Hargreaves Lansdown HQ will provide room for up to 700 staff.

With 1,500 staff already working in the HBOS building and 50,000 sq ft of space yet to be developed at 2 College Square, the number of workers in close proximity to the development is set to rise further.

Vicky Dudbridge from selling agents King Sturge said: “Occupancy of 1 College Square will mark a significant milestone. The influx of people to the area will see demand for rental properties rise. Because of this our advice to anyone thinking of investing in property is to take a look at Harbourside and see for themselves what we have on offer.

“The fact that we’re getting more enquiries from investors is a clear indication that the property market is showing signs of recovery.

“If those looking to property as an investment weren’t confident they would get a return then we certainly wouldn’t be getting as many enquiries and reservations as we are.

“To see previous buyers come back is welcome news and we expect this to continue over the coming months.”

With demand remaining robust, Crest Nicholson has just launched its latest phase.

Called Ensign, it comprises 27, one and two-bedroom apartments, including a selection of spacious, bay-fronted properties that boast stunning views directly across Bristol’s historic floating harbour.

Located right in the heart of Bristol those living at Harbourside not only enjoy the benefits of a stunning new waterside development but all the trappings city centre living brings.

The centre is only a few minutes walk away and there are numerous restaurants and bars close by including The Living Room, Chinese restaurant Zen and Pizza Express.

For further information regarding these exclusive apartments please call 0117 908 8888 or visit www.harbourside.co.uk . Alternatively please visit the marketing suite on Cathedral Walk which is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
