The partners new platform is expected to deploy approximately €300 million over the next investment period.
The Record Store will be repositioned to create 60,000 sq. ft. of creative office space as part of U+I’s wider transformation of the 17-acre site.
Matthew Weiner, Chief Executive of U+I, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering again with Colony NorthStar. The specialist platform will target opportunities to develop high quality office space where there are limited options for new build.
There is currently a shortage of offices across U+I’s core locations which provide the right space or environment to satisfy the needs of today’s modern enterprises. Office refurbishment is one of U+I’s core skills, this platform will allow us to deliver workplaces tailored for the 21st century and create value through our expertise in planning, development, refurbishment and asset management.”
