Cushman & Wakefield has been selected as consultant to the London Borough of Ealing for
its external estates management contract. The contract took effect from 1 July 2010 and will
run for four years in association with EC Harris who are mandated through the Schools and
Educational Building Programme.
Brendon Walsh at London Borough of Ealing said, “We are very happy to be working
with Cushman & Wakefield and are already benefiting from their considerable local
government expertise in both service delivery and value creation and in particular their
experience from a number of similar contracts with other London Boroughs.”
Cushman & Wakefield’s remit includes the provision of all estates and valuation
services to the Council’s property portfolio. It is anticipated that, subject to
completion of the property strategy, the firm will receive a number of instructions to
rationalise existing land holdings which it anticipates will bring to the market a number of
key opportunities.
One key regeneration priority is Acton Town Hall. In addition to a new service hub for
residents there will be new swimming baths, library, fitness facilities and space for community
user groups, replacing the existing ageing premises, which will provide opportunities for new
homes to be delivered. Acton Town Hall comprises a site of some 3.8 acres and has already
attracted considerable interest from a wide range of occupiers and developers.
