The Paddington market is dominated by tech (microsoft, vodafone, nissan hq), pharmaceutical / life sciences (astrazeneca), media (wpp units, itv studios nearby), each with distinct office repairs requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered office repairs in trophy buildings including Merchant Square 1–5, The Point (Paddington Basin), The Colonnades, Sheldon Square 1–5.
Paddington combines the Basin's modern Grade A (Merchant Square, The Point, The Colonnades) with the Sheldon Square commercial core (British Land) and the Marble Arch Place cluster. Occupiers include tech, media, pharmaceutical/life sciences and professional services.
