We have completed works in or adjacent to 3 Shortlands, One Lyric Square, 245 Hammersmith Road, The Ark, Landmark House among others.

The Hammersmith market is dominated by media and advertising (disney, sony, virgin), consumer brand hq (l'oréal, coca-cola), retail hq (sports direct), each with distinct commercial maintenance requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered commercial maintenance in trophy buildings including 3 Shortlands, One Lyric Square, 245 Hammersmith Road, The Ark.

Hammersmith commercial stock centres on Hammersmith Broadway and the Thames riverside. Occupiers are dominated by media/advertising (Disney, Sony, Virgin, Coca-Cola), retail HQ (L'Oréal, Sports Direct), and consumer-brand HQ. Floor plates are typically 8,000–20,000 sqft.
