1. INTRODUCTION
The investigation into the potential development of the site located at 153-173 Marylebone Road was completed in the group 7 work that was submitted
to the panel under the name Development 7 (Ruparel et.al., 2015). The group work examined numerous potential developments that could yield the
highest possible profit for the developer post completion and sale. Briefly, the two shortlisted potential developments for the site were mixed use
Office/Leisure and mixed use Student Accommodation/Leisure developments. Through careful consideration of both options, it was decided by the
group that the Office/Leisure mixed development would be the most profitable use for the site. However, upon individual examination of the potential
profit that could be achieved from the Student Accommodation/Leisure development, it could be argued that the development could be made more
viable and thus lead to a higher profit for the developer and a higher Gross Development Value. The arguments are presented below, with references
and appendices at the end of the report.
2. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT 7 GROUP WORK
Since identification of the individual members of the group, it was evident from the onset that members were committed to the task at hand and the
upcoming challenges. The primary methods of communication amongst members were the use of the instant messaging service Whatsapp for informal
and quick queries, and email for the sharing of important documentation and information that is relevant to the presentation and the group report. This
included the setting up of a centralised shared online folder for the storing of documentation using Google Drive that was accessible by all members
of the group. The aforementioned methods of communication were extremely effective in ensuring that members were continuously up-to-date with
any new developments, however, it was difficult in ensuring that all members read emails, thus I would have added a “Read Request” into every email
that members received.
Team meeting dates and times were decided based upon the availability of each member to attend, with an aim to meet once a week until the date
of the presentation. However, as some member are in full-time employment, provisions had to be made in order to accommodate non-attendees in
the form of catch-up meetings or through one-to-one meetings, which affected the effective sharing of information. Meetings took place on the
university’s Marylebone campus, and the first and last meetings took place in a booked group study room in the library. Meetings in-between took
place in lecture theatres an hour before a lecture and were held in a more informal manner. I believe that if meetings were held in a group study room
and in a more formal setting, the dissemination of information would have been more effective, as other groups were holding their own meetings in
the same space, which on some occasions caused distractions and interruptions.
An important aspect that Group 7 excelled at is the division of labour between members. From the onset, each group member expressed their
strengths and weaknesses in their abilities to complete certain tasks, taking advantage of members who are in employment within the various property
sectors that were being examined. Thusly, after the end of each meeting, the identified tasks were assigned or taken up by group members
accordingly, who were then grouped into sub teams, each focusing on the two potential developments for the site. Coupled with constant active
communication between members, most tasks were completed effectively and on time. However, division of labour had its drawbacks on certain
occasions, particularly when progress was affected due to the group or sub-team requiring information to be completed and shared from certain

3
members or sub-teams. Thusly, I would have compensated for this drawback through the employment of contingency or “back-up” members from
within the group who would perform the tasks in conjunction with the assigned member, in order to mitigate for the risk of not meeting submission
deadlines.
From a personal perspective, my involvement within the group revolved around ensuring that tasks were completed and shared on time, ensure that
information is not distorted while keeping effective records of items to be discussed and individual tasks, ensure member attendance to meetings,
and to ensure the entire group was focused on achieving the required outcomes through the chairing of meetings and producing meeting agendas
[Appendix 1]. In terms of my contributions to the report and to the presentation, my roles involved investigating and researching the viability of
developing a shopping centre on the site [Appendix 2], a residential development [Appendix 3], producing the marketing material for the chosen
scheme [Appendix 4], the Office/Leisure development, and the summary and closing slides of the presentation, all of which I presented during the
assessment presentation.
All of my tasks were performed through effective secondary research that were relevant to the chosen development, using leading industry
organisations as sources, such as Knight Frank and GVA, and using the CoStar Focus Property Intelligence and Estates Gazette Interactive
databases, in order to obtain the relevant market and yield information to obtain appropriate Gross Development Valuations for the assessed schemes.
In summation, members of Group 7 worked extremely well with each other, and almost all members were reliable and delivered relevant professional
contributions that positively contributed to the overall performance of the group work. If I was to do this task again with the same members, I would
have instilled a much more disciplined formal approach, particularly during team meetings. Additionally, with previous public speaking and presentation
experience, I would have supported certain members of the group in preparing for the assessed presentation better, particularly during the question
and answer stage.
3. THE SITE
The site is located at 153-173 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 within the Marylebone area in the borough of the City of Westminster, and has an
approximate area of 2,650 sqm (Ruparel et al., 2015) with a frontage onto Marylebone Road, and is bordered by Seymour Place to the West, Enford
Street to the east and Walmer Street to the south. The site benefits from excellent proximity to several transportation hubs that include Marylebone
Station (0.1 miles), Edgware Road Station (0.2 miles), Baker Street Station (0.4 miles), Paddington Station (0.9 miles) and King’s Cross St Pancras
Station (2.0 miles). Additionally, the site can be accessed through public buses and the London bike higher scheme, with bus stops and bike racks
within close proximity.

4. AREA ANALYSIS
Marylebone has become one of London’s premium destinations. Bordered by Oxford Street to the south, Regent’s Park to the north and Edgware
Road to the west, (Mail Online, 2015) described Marylebone as London’s new “it” destination due to the ever-changing characteristics of the area;
transforming from a globally renowned high-end medical location to an area with a diverse mix of high-end residential and commercial properties that
include offices, retail, restaurants and cafés.
From a residential standpoint, (Knight Frank, 2015) reports that Marylebone has become “London’s newest super-prime district”, due to the “quality
of the urban environment and property offer” which has resulted in buyers moving from other super-prime areas such as St John’s Wood, Mayfair,
Belgravia and Hampstead. Additionally, (Knight Frank, 2015) reports that more square footage can be bought in Marylebone for £5 million compared
to the aforementioned areas, increasing the influx of buyers into the area. With values growing by 17% in Marylebone from June 2013-2015 (Knight
Frank, 2015), average property prices, as reported by Foxtons (Figure 2), Zoopla (Figure 3) and Rightmove, range between £1,200,000 to over
£1,600,000.

Commercially, Marylebone has a significant mix of occupiers, with the majority of tenants occupying offices classified as prime grade space on
Marylebone Road (Appendix 6), for which recent commanded prime rents are at £97.50 per sq ft as shown in Figure 4 below. Office occupiers, as
reported in (Ruparel et el., 2015) come from a variety of sectors with the majority operating in the Financial and Real Estate sectors (Figure 5). In
terms of retail, rents commanded in terms of Zone A on Marylebone High Street are around £400 per sq ft, as shown in Figure 6 below, with leisure
properties, focusing on food and beverage A3 space, commanding rents upwards of £90 per sq ft (Appendix 7). A more detailed analysis on leisure
properties in relation to the development will be discussed in the next section of this report.

FIGURE 6 SOURCE: (CBRE, 2015)
In terms of student accommodation, there are ten universities/higher education providers (Appendix 9) with thirteen privately run student
accommodation sites (Appendix 8) within 3.0 miles to the site. Lower tier rents per week range from £76.51 to £319 and upper tier rents range from
£117.91 to £660 per week. A total of 115,320 full-time students attend the universities listed under Appendix 8 with 55,360 of them being international
students from within and outside the EU. Demand for student accommodation is highest in London due to limited availability, with universities only
being capable of accommodating 34,000 students in their own halls (Housing Services, 2015), institutions and individual students are looking at
accommodation provided by the private sector to meet the shortfall in bed supply. A more detailed analysis is provided in the upcoming sections.

5. STUDENT ACCOMMODATION/LEISURE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
5.1 Group work proposal
As stated in (Ruparel et. al., 2015), the mixed use student accommodation/leisure development scheme will be over five floors with the leisure
development on the ground floor and the remaining top four floors will be 420 student accommodation studios. The Gross Internal Area (GIA) of the
building is approximately 12,500 sqm with the leisure development occupying 2,500 sqm and the studios occupying 10,000 sqm.
In terms of the student accommodation, the group work presented comparables that resulted in a two tier rate that can be charged for the studios.
Studios on floors one to three achieving a rent of £350.00 per week and the studios on the fourth floor achieving a rent of £400.00 per week. It is
assumed that each studio is 23sqm with no extra amenities provided in the building. As for the leisure space on the ground floor, based on comparables
within the area, the group presented a rent per sqm of £796 for eight restaurants each of approximately 312 sqm achieving an annual rent of
approximately £248,750 per annum for each restaurant. The Gross Development Value of the site was therefore assumed to be £160,095,255, with
the leisure development contributing £49,750,000 and the student accommodation contributing £120,202,500. The Net Residual Value of the site was
calculated to be say £97,300,000 with Gross Development Costs totalling £62,759,556.
I believe that this development can be made more viable, particularly in terms of student accommodation, as the type of accommodation provided is
similar throughout the development where as comparables suggest that higher rents can be achieved from variations in the type of accommodation
offered. The arguments, comparables and residual valuation are presented the sections to follow.
5.2 Student Accommodation
(JLL, 2015) conducted research into the London student housing market which states that London’s population is estimated to increase to 10 million
people and the corresponding full-time student population in London is expected to rise by 50% within the next decade. Rising housing prices and a
shortage in supply of Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) properties has led to demand outstripping supply, with the supply pipeline in
prime central London being affected due to planning constraints, leading to higher rents which is attracting significant investment in the market, for
which (JLL, 2015) estimates it to be £5.7bn nationally by the end of 2015, for which London’s share is £1.5bn in the first half of 2015. Although only
9% of students occupy PBSA properties (Figure 7), the limited availability of beds from London universities and HMOs has raised the demand for
PBSA properties in London. Additionally, (JLL, 2015) shows that prime yields within Zones 1-2 in London have dropped significantly since 2012, with
yields of circa 4.5% being achieved (Figure 8), resulting in increased direct investment into the PBSA market, particularly foreign direct investment
from international funds and investors. This view is not only shared by JLL, (Savills, 2015) also states that prime London yields have fallen, and
achieving similar rates (Figure 9) with (Knight Frank, 2014) demonstrating that when compared with other assets, student property achieves the
highest returns (Figure 10).
Focusing on the area around the site, as shown under Appendix 9, there is a mix of ten privately and publically funded universities/higher education
providers within 3.0 miles to the site, with a total of approximately 162,420 students, of which approximately 115,320 are full-time students and 55,360
of them being international students from within and outside the EU. The demand for PBSA is highest amongst international full-time students, whether

9
undergraduate or postgraduate. The accommodation provided by the private rented PBSA within 3.0 miles are listed under Appendix 8. (AFS, 2015)
reports that over 90% of all students find it important to look for accommodation in relation to the proximity to the university, with over 75% of students
finding it important to be in close proximity to a town/city centre (Figures 11 and 12).

5.3 Leisure
Indeed throughout the UK, growth in sales for pubs and restaurants has shown a relatively continuous increase in year on year sales since January
2010 (BDO, 2015) as shown in Figure 13 below. According to (M&G Real Estate, 2015), the UK leisure industry is worth over £176bn with restaurants
and food services contributing £28bn (Figure 14). As the name suggests, the leisure market is heavily dependent on the spending power of consumers
and the amount of disposable income they have. Thus, performance of the leisure market is dependent on the performance of the wider economy
and the levels of household spending and consumer confidence within the economy. With decreasing levels of unemployment and earnings
outstripping inflation (Figure 15), consumer confidence is recovering in 2015 (Figure 16), leading to an increase in household spending on the
restaurant sector of the leisure market (Figure 17).
Therefore, an increase in demand for leisure activities by consumers, results in higher revenues for leisure providers, thus increasing the level of rents
paid by occupiers to landlords as leisure property rents are mostly valued using the profits method of valuation (Isaac and O'Leary, 2012). For within
the Marylebone area, this is demonstrated by (IPD | Levy, 2015, p 26) where it is stated that all property capital values have increased by 22.8% in
2014, exceeding the pre credit crunch peak in 2007 by 30%. (IPD | Levy, 2015) also states that “rents were the key driver of 2014 performance with
growth of 11.5% y/y”. The increase in rents and capital values has had a noticeable impact on yields, where the Marylebone and Euston equivalent
yield stands at 4.6%, 40 basis points lower than at the end of 2013 (Figure 18). Research into the restaurant sector by (Colliers International, 2014)
states that rent per sq ft have increased from £65 in 2009 to £90 in 2014, a 38% increase (Appendix 7) within Marylebone.
As a result of the market analysis above, it can be said that including prime leisure space within the proposed development is viable and will contribute
positively to the overall GDV of the site and consequently the developer’s profit. The results of the research presented in the group report provides
for a substantial insight into the London restaurant sector and the prevailing trends that are being witnessed in the UK and the capital. Thus, I am
unable to make the restaurant space within the development more viable than that presented in the group report. This is because individual research
into the market comparables, rents and yields of the restaurant sector in relation to the proposed development are similar to those submitted in
(Ruparel et.al., 2015). Therefore, the residual valuation for the leisure development will be based on the information provided in (Ruparel et. al., 2015)
provided in Appendix 10.

5.4 Student Accommodation Comparables
Based on the analysis in Section 5.2, it is clear that the demand for PBSA in London is high and the returns generated by the sector as an asset class
is attractive to investors. Therefore, the student accommodation development on the site will be that of a premium accommodation that will command
upper tier rents due to the location of the site being in a prime central London area in Zone 1, proximity to several globally renowned universities,
ease of access and proximity to several transportation links.
The comparables below are extracts from privately run PBSA outlined under Appendix 8 and they were selected based on the fact that they are
premium facilities that are within close proximity to the site.

Based on the comparables above, it is clear that the group proposed student development scheme could be significantly enhanced by offering a
variety of accommodation types, rather than simple generic studios throughout the entire scheme. Assuming the PBSA will have a GIA of 10,000 sqm
over floors one to four, then the enhanced development will house the below outlined student accommodation and their corresponding rents per week
based on the above comparables.
Room Type Rent per week (£) Size (sqm) Number of Units Floor(s) Gross Rent per
annum for all units
(x51 weeks)
Classic Studio 405 20 250 One and Two £5,163,750
One Bedroom Flat 550 30 80 Three £2,244,000
Two Bedroom Flat 660 40 60 Four £2,019,600
The proposed scheme will provide similar services to comparables and to the group proposed scheme in terms of fully paid utilities and the provision
of security and other overhead expenses. Therefore, the cost per bed will need to be analysed in order to determine the Net Rental Income before
determining the Gross Development Value of the PBSA. These are based on Figure 19 below.

17
Based on the figures in Figure 19 above, the Void and Bad Debt is assumed to be 1.5% and Total Scheme and Overhead Costs is equal to 21.0%,
thus bringing a combined Operating Expenses of 22.5% per bed. The total number of beds within the improved scheme is therefore 450.

6. POSSESSION
It is assumed that there are two office buildings already on the site, with one (building A) let on a twenty five year FRI lease since 1992 paying a rent
of £75,000 per annum with a rateable value of £67,500, and the other building (building B) is let on a ten year FRI lease since 2007, however the
tenant has vacated the building. Both tenancies for both buildings are protected under the Security of Tenure of Part II of the Landlord and Tenant
Act 1954 (the Act).
Possession has already been granted for building B where the tenant has already vacated the premises. Thus, it can be assumed that no further
action will need to be taken in relation to this building, and in theory, demolition of the building can commence immediately in order to commence with
construction.

22
In order to gain possession of building A, the landlord will have to serve a Section 25 notice under Part II of the Act. The notice will need to be served
in the “prescribed form” and should specify the exact “date of termination” of the tenancy [Section 25[1]). The notice should not be served more than
twelve months or less than six months before the “date of termination” (Section 25[2]). The notice should also include whether the landlord opposes
the granting of a new tenancy to the tenant (Section 25[6]) and if so, the landlord should include in the notice the ground(s) for opposing the grant of
a new tenancy, which are listed under Section 30(1) of the Act [Section 25(7)].
Based on the above, in order to gain possession of building A, a Section 25 notice will need to be served which includes all of the above information.
The ground under which the landlord is opposing the grant of a new lease falls under Section 30(1)(f) of the Act which states “that on the termination
of the current tenancy the landlord intends to demolish or reconstruct the premises comprised in the holding or a substantial part of those premises
or to carry out substantial work of construction on the holding or part thereof and that he could not reasonably do so without obtaining possession of
the holding”.
Therefore, as building A is under a twenty five year FRI fixed term tenancy that will expire in 2017 with two years unexpired, unless the terms of the
tenancy includes a form of “notice to quit”, such as a break clause that can be exercised by the landlord, then the “date of termination” specified in
the Section 25 notice should not be “earlier that the date on which apart from this Part of this Act the tenancy would have come to an end by effluxion
of time” (Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, Section 25[4]). Therefore, possession of the building cannot occur before the end of the tenancy in 2017,
provided that the landlord serves the Section 25 notice exactly twelve months before the contractual end of the tenancy.
Furthermore, under Section 37(1), the tenant is entitled by way of compensation, when quitting the property, from the landlord if the termination of the
tenancy falls under the “compensation case” under Section 37(1A), as the landlord has opposed the granting of a new tenancy in the Section 25
notice served based on the ground under Section 30(1)(f). The compensation for which the tenant is entitled to falls under Section 37(2)(a), which
states “where the conditions specified in the next following subsection are satisfied in relation to the whole of the holding it shall be the product of the
appropriate multiplier and twice the rateable value of the holding,” for which the condition falls under Section 37(3)(a) that the tenant has occupied
the property for a period of fourteen years for the purposes of a business carried out by him. As a result, the rateable value of the property is stated
to be £67,500. The appropriate multiplier is 1 as stated by Article 4 of The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (Appropriate Multiplier) Order 1990.
Therefore, the total compensation that the tenant is entitled to is £135,000 (67,500x2x1).

7. CONCLUSION
As it has been demonstrated, the mixed used Student Accommodation/Leisure development has been significantly enhanced when compared to the
original submission made under (Ruparel et. al., 2015). The biggest difference in my calculations are the total GDV of the development and the
correspdong Developer’s Profit. Under (Ruparel et. al, 2015) development GDV was £169,952,500, whereas under my calculations the total GDV
was £196,816,660, a difference of £26,864,160. This stark difference in the GDV also led to a substantial increase in the Developer’s Profit achieved,
for which under (Ruparel et. al, 2015) Developer’s Profit totaled £25,492,875 whereas under my calculations the Developer’s Profit equalled
£29,522,499, a difference of £4,029,624.
The main reason for the significant changes mentioned above can be attributted to the use and assessment of comparables within the area; even
though similar comparables were assessed, the variety of accommodation that could be offered as part of the development was ignored and the more
uniform or “simpler” option of developing identical studios was presented instead. Thus, a signficant opportunity was missed in the group work.
Additionally, the difference in the yield used in my calculations and those in the group work also affected the total GDV of the site. In my calculations,
based on (Kinght Frank, 2015) prime yields in Zones 1-2 for PBSA is 4.5% with a 0.5% risk premium, whereas the group used the yield provided by
CBRE of 4.75% with a 0.5% risk premium.
It is important to note, however, as it is common with any residual valuation, several assumptions are made and several limitations are encountered.
Furthermore, the preferences of the individual developer affect the values of various variables within calculations that can lead to significant differences
between one residual valuation and another. Upon personal reflection and based on the results of my analysis into the Marylebone area, if I was to
carry out a personal development on the proposed site, I would have opted for super-prime residential properties due to the dramatic growth in
residential property prices, coupled with a continous regeneration of the area into becoming one of London’s most desirable areas.
