Major Office Revamp Approved in Guildford Town Centre
Bradda Capital, the UK real estate investment adviser, hassecured planning consent for the comprehensive retrofit of 31 Chertsey Street, a prominent office building in Guildford’s town centre.
The scheme, approved by Guildford Borough Council, involves the transformation of the existing three-storey, 31,000 sq ft office building into a high-quality, future-fit workspace that meets modern occupier needs while respecting its historic town centre setting. Key elements of the retrofit include upgraded amenity space, enhanced sustainability measures and a significant improvement to the building’s streetscape presence.
A central feature of the retrofit is its strong emphasis on sustainability and decarbonisation. It will incorporate 80 rooftop photovoltaic panels and replace gas-powered systems with highly efficient air source heat pumps. In addition, all lighting within the building will be upgraded to low-energy LED systems. These enhancements are expected to cut the building’s carbon emissions by up to 99% and support Bradda Capital’s wider ESG commitments.
The scheme also supports sustainable transport initiatives by reducing onsite car parking and providing 28 new secure cycle spaces alongside new shower and locker facilities. This aligns with Guildford Borough Council’s broader objectives for greener and more connected town centre infrastructure.
Construction is set to start in last summer with completion due in early 2026.
