13 May Shepherds Bush university campus up for sale

The London College of Fashion university campus in Shepherds Bush has been put up for sale with a price tag of £42.5million.

Allsop is marketing the freehold for 40 Lime Grove, which offers 104,321 sq ft of accommodation across four blocks featuring lecture theatres, auditorium space, seminar rooms, design studios and offices.

The site is part of the University of Arts London, but with the university consolidating all of the London College of Fashion’s campuses into one site in Stratford, the Shepherds Bush site will be vacant by the end of 2023.

Allsop partner Nick Pemberton said: “This is an exceptional opportunity for UK and international investors to acquire a two-acre site in central London where two-thirds of the built space has circa four metre ceiling heights.”

He added: “40 Lime Grove is likely to attract bids from international schools and universities keen to benefit from the UK capital’s outstanding academic credentials and student market, as well as other possible uses that may include the growing life sciences sector.”
