Our Vision for Pfizer Village
A
a
SANDWICH SITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
This document aims to establish the credentials of the Project Team assembled by CB Richard
Ellis to address the challenge set by Pfizer – propose a strategy which will optimise the value of
the entire Pfizer site at Sandwich, Kent.
Relevant experience will be demonstrated of similar large-scale regeneration development
projects, and of the team’s ability to work with both the private sector and large government
bodies such as SEEDA. Particular focus on actual experience in Kent will also be highlighted.
Attention will be paid to the important relationship between Pfizer and its neighbours in
Sandwich Town; and we will explore the possibility of creating even stronger links with the town
and its inhabitants.
This document will offer an illustrative draft layout of how the various dynamics might work;
pointing out the recommended scale and scope of the significant potential offered by this most
unusual opportunity.
Through the vehicle of this document and at all stages of the selection process CBRE will
demonstrate:
our tremendous enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to this project
our considered and coherent approach to all key issues
the capabilities of our extremely well lead, passionate and dynamic project team
Pfizer’s challenge will be addressed in greater detail during the next stage of engagement,
where focus will be given to the wider economic aspect of the brief.

INTRODUCTION
CB Richard Ellis is delighted to respond to Pfizer’s invitation to tender for consultancy services
on the Sandwich site development project, as outlined in your document issued on 7 November
2008. We thank you for including us in your invitation list and for allowing us to respond to
such an exciting proposition.
CBRE is currently representing Pfizer on several disposition assignments around the globe. These
assignments include the leasing of 750,000 square feet of office space in Midtown Manhattan,
the leasing of 90,000 square feet of office space in Paris, and the subleasing of 25,000 square
feet of office space in Denver Colorado. In addition CBRE is currently representing Pfizer in the
sale of former manufacturing properties in Puerto Rico, Missouri, and Indiana.
In order to meet the demands of this challenging assignment, we have teamed up with HLW,
architects and master planners, who are also well known to you. Through this partnership we
have established the strongest possible team across all necessary disciplines.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The project relates to the Pfizer owned and operated Research and Development site (including
redundant manufacturing facilities) on some 237 acres located at Sandwich, Kent.
In the first instance, Pfizer has identified land, buildings, and infrastructure, that may be
available for sale, lease or sharing with other organisations including:
At least 400,000 RSF of office and laboratory accommodation
Land at the south of the Pfizer site which is near the town of Sandwich.
Infrastructure including utilities, roads, parking, security and site amenities such as staff
restaurants, gym and shops
Pfizer’s initial research has suggested that a science or business park concept may be viable
whilst mixed use development and energy generation should also be considered.
In subsequent discussions with Pfizer, our representatives have expressed the view that the scope
as initially identified, although laudable as it stands, may be somewhat lacking in ambition.
The multi-disciplinary team of CBRE/HLW firmly believe that the potential of this site stretches
far beyond the confines of the existing brief, allowing a rare opportunity to create something of
real value on the East Coast of England. The timing is also right for a large well placed
corporate, such as Pfizer, to undertake some counter-cyclical activity.
We believe this project will be a shining example in partnership, collaboration and regeneration
best practice; it will be a symbol to underpin the values of the Pfizer brand and act as showpiece
of its operations.
Progress. Promise. PFIZER

MEETING YOUR OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES
You have identified two major objectives for Pfizer from this process:
Realise value from existing excess assets comprising buildings, land and infrastructure that
allows Pfizer to step change its facilities cost base going forward.
Provide a development framework that allows the site to transition from a single company to
a multi-organisational site, maximising synergies between Pfizer and other organisations
where possible.
The second objective will take initial precedence and by its execution will allow the first objective
to be delivered as a result.

THE CBRE/HLW VISION
Bournville for Our Times
We have already discussed the possibility for creating a “Bournville for Our Times” in the same
vein as best practice in corporate “place making” such as:
Bournville Village – http://www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/about_chocolate/history_cadbury/social_pioneers
Port Sunlight – http://www.portsunlightvillage.com/page.asp?pageid=history
The old Quaker families created villages of mixed use developments which operated entirely on
a human scale and - crucially - where people were able to live in close proximity to where they
worked. These have delivered highly successful and sustainable places which have both
endured but have also made major lasting statements about the industrial investors behind the
settlements concerned.
While the presentation of a large scale regeneration opportunity which meets government
objectives, as well as incorporating a strong economic, residential development and
environmental story stands clear as a winning formula; the detail cannot be determined at the
outset. We are proposing to embark on a “journey” with this project along a route that will
evolve as we travel forward.
The exact elements of the scheme to be presented, initially internally, but then at regional level,
will take some time to develop, but a “route map” will almost certainly require the following
components:
Revisiting/freshening up ideas for the site
Complete branding exercise around the opportunity
Internal consensus building campaign across Pfizer’s global operation
A “regeneration narrative” for the entire site and it’s immediate environs
A “contextual narrative” in respect of regional and national regeneration policy, with
particular reference to government policy, in particular the emerging Homes and
Communities Agency
Meetings with key external stakeholders
a
7
Our vision for a “Pfizer Village” would almost certainly include the following elements working
together in parallel:
1. Secure Accommodation for Pfizer (and its associates)
Central to all the plans for the site is the need to put the secure operational requirements of
Pfizer R&D above all other considerations. The show must be kept on the road, unfettered and
unconstrained, throughout the entire project.
The key objective of this work is that Pfizer’s operation is protected and enhanced. We would
seek to demarcate a clearly secure area at the outset and identify operational requirements to
be safeguarded. However, a priority would be to “open up” the rest of the site as quickly as
possible to indicate that the Pfizer Village is “open for business”. We see this as an essential
step to underpin the inward investment strategy for the site.
2. A “Knowledge Village”
We are familiar with the challenges of developing Science Parks, with local experience on the
Kent Science Park situated outside Sittingbourne. Whilst we are dubious about a strategy
predicated entirely on a science park for this site, we believe there is much room for a cluster of
“knowledge based” businesses and would seek to encourage this through the provision of
incubator units for SMEs and micro-businesses, in partnership with an appropriate operator of
managed space.
Careful work with the Pfizer supply chain as well as coordinating with an appropriate HE
provider (see below) would form the beginnings of building the profile of Pfizer Village as a
“knowledge address”.
3. A Zero Carbon Target
Pfizer has “clean green” brand values, image and positioning and also is unafraid of embracing
energy provision having already installed energy plant on site. The Pegwell Bay area has a
history of energy generation, although the Richborough power plant has now been
decommissioned.
Central to the values of the Pfizer Village that we would seek to develop in partnership, would
be our wish to aim for a zero carbon settlement. The homes would be Code Level 4 (or above)
and any new buildings would aim for BREEAM “excellent” rating. We have discussed Combined
Heat and Power (CHP) provision for both the existing stock and the new build. We would also
seek to include a waste-to-energy plant (or more than one) as appropriate, potentially serving
the town of Sandwich as well as the Pfizer Village requirements.
a
8
4. A Higher Education strategy
Pfizer has excellent links with a number of higher education institutions and it may be that this
could be developed to bring some HE provision onto site at Pfizer Village. Clearly this would be
a key component of the “knowledge village” portioning for the site. We would be seeking a
strategic tie in with a world class institution as the quality of the partner will be key to the
positioning.
This would have the additional benefit of allowing the development of some student housing,
which always adds value to any place making strategy.
5. Connectivity to the existing medieval settlement of Sandwich
Although the site currently behaves very much like an “out of town” facility, a cursory glance at
an aerial photograph shows it is actually in very close proximity to the beautiful ancient town of
Sandwich to the immediate south. It is important for the future success of Pfizer Village that it
will be accessible on foot and on bicycle from the existing settlement at Sandwich.
Sensitively retro-fitting the area with appropriate developments allowing walkways, cycle routes,
roads and tracks for rapid transit systems (see transport below) through a carefully phased
master plan will create a vibrant new community that works in harmony with the existing
settlement.
6. “Early Win” residential component
We will seek to bring forward a superb residential element, establishing a “tone” for the rest of
the development. The provision of some appropriate residential development in the early part of
the scheme, probably close to Sandwich town, will inspire confidence and provide seed funding
for other elements which may be less commercially viable but which are still essential for the
overall success of the project.
We believe that there is potential for a range of different residential components to the Pfizer
Village as well as the “early win” private housing for sale, other private housing opportunities
may present themselves in different parts of the site and there could be potential for a student
housing enclave (see above) as well as a retirement village.
7. “Other Use” Strategy
We are clear that there are a number of uses that would work on this site, alongside the existing
laboratories and offices.
As well as the energy provision and the range of housing types already proposed, we believe
there could also be scope for an appropriate hotel offering, some limited leisure and retail
provision to meet the needs of the new settlement.
a
9
8. Leisure Strategy
We are conscious of the proximity of the beaches at Pegwell Bay, as well as the three
magnificent golf courses and the potential for making something of the lake to the south for
leisure purposes which is currently ignored.
Central to the Pfizer Village concept will be quality of life issues and the provision of a diverse
leisure offer will be very important. We believe that there are a number of commercial leisure
operators who may well be interested in partnering us in this very beautiful location.
9. Local economic development strategy
Pfizer sent an excellent message to the local community in East Kent during the construction
phase of the new buildings in the 1990s when Bovis - on your behalf - made every effort to
recruit and train local labour to build out the scheme. Similarly as that phase of developments
was completed, we appreciate that your status as a significant local employer is very important
to the economy of Kent.
We would actively promote a strategy that targeted all new job opportunities, whether it be
during construction or in the end-user phase toward the people of Sandwich, Ramsgate and
Deal as well as the local smaller villages. We have vast experience of delivering this type of
strategy, most notably at Paddington where we put 5,-000 local [people into work through the
“Paddington First” agency which was formed in partnership with Job Centre Plus.
10. Transport Strategy
The subject of car parking provision will need to be handled with some care and we must
ensure that sufficient car parking is provided to stimulate a rigorous inward investment strategy
whilst also positioning the Pfizer Village as an environment which discourages the use of the
private car wherever possible.
The fact that the rail link to London will reduce from 130 minutes to 84 minutes with the
provision of the high speed link next year must be exploited and links must be strengthened with
the Kent International Airport at Manston, which we tip for substantial improvement over the
next 20 years.
Walkways and cycle ways will be included as a matter of course as well as road connection to
the town of Sandwich. Having had experience of delivering rapid transit systems (such as
Fastrack in north Kent) we would also like to consider the inclusion of a rapid transit link on a
segregated route linking the Pfizer Village to the other amenities in the area such as the railway
station and tourist attractions.
a
10
REGIONAL CONTEXT
We appreciate that this particular Consultancy Services project is supported by SEEDA who, we
understand, along with Pfizer will jointly evaluate proposals and options received from
consulting organisations.
We have worked extensively with SEEDA over the years, particularly in Kent, as will be noted
from the appended Track Records. We have consulted with SEEDA in assembling this
submission, and can confirm that references from them are readily available.
In addition, we understand that Pfizer have also had initial discussions with SEEDA, UKTI, Kent
County Council (KCC) and Dover District Council who support this project.
Our team enjoys widespread connections throughout the Kent and SE England infrastructure
from Locate in Kent through to the KCC Brussels office and beyond.
Existing Residential Development
The Developer Quayside Homes and their agents are known to us, and we have visited their
scheme known as Willowbank in Sandwich, which forms the early part of a potential 300
dwellings between the town and Stonar Lake.
Whilst suffering from the current economic downturn like all housebuilders, this scheme proves
the desirability of residential development in this area, and there has been significant interest
from local and incoming purchasers, both first time buyers and retirement/second home
seekers.
There is still a substantial amount of ‘waste’ and commercial land around the lake which could
be Masterplanned into a larger mixed-use scheme, ultimately knitting together with a full-scale
Science Park/Residential proposition.
If required, the possibility of doing some kind of enabling deal with this Developer in the current
climate would be considered good, and might be advantageous (though probably not
essential), since they have already committed to a good deal of infrastructure, including
extensive flood protection measures.
The physical link between Pfizer Village and Sandwich would then be complete.
a
11
OBJECTIVES
The CBREHLW team will seek to:
1. Design and develop a comprehensive Masterplan for the layout, phasing, infrastructure,
Planning Consents, building and/or marketing of the redevelopment of the site, both for
existing buildings and proposed new build.
2. Provide fact based insight into the potential demand for the existing assets with clear
recommendations of which organisations in each market segment should be approached
and under what conditions.
3. Clearly identify the assets which will be most attractive to other organisations including
infrastructure, services and science based offerings
4. Prepare a prospectus, which builds on the initial Pfizer prepared proposition, to allow a
sustained and targeted marketing effort to commence.
5 Identify government funding support that will drive market sectors / themes and/or support
defining the science / other offerings required for success
6 Develop a business model, including operating options, which takes account of
investment, cash flow, commercial terms, returns, timelines, leasing and risk to allow
investment decision making to take place.
7 Recommend developer / partners which should be short listed based on their experience
and initial interest to any draft propositions clearly identifying under what terms they should
be engaged.
a
12
AREAS NOT WITHIN THE REMIT OF THIS WORK
You have made it clear that the project includes assets on the following parcels only, which are
currently within Pfizer ownership:
Social Club 18.3 acres
East Site 57.9 acres
West Site 160 acres
Dover Road 0.55 acres Total: 237 acres
Not Included:
Romac 32.6 acres
North Site 36.8 acres
Nature Reserve 63.6 acres Total: 133 acres
In addition, we understand that the following items are out of scope and will be dealt directly by
Pfizer:
Capacity evaluation and rationalisation of the existing buildings based on Pfizer’s’
organisational needs going forward.
Economic evaluation of disposal of buildings and plant which are rendered redundant and
have no future potential use.
Flood prevention (Pfizer will deal with the EA directly and feed in the outcome as it emerges)
Disposal of redundant manufacturing assets unless they are to be re-used as part of a
science / business park
Sale of specific one off buildings – will be done with current brokerage agreements
Programme managing a steering group on behalf of Pfizer.
a

FEE STRUCTURE WITH PAYMENT SCHEDULE & TERMS
In an unconstrained world we would ideally request a twelve month commission. However we
recognise that we would - together and in partnership - be on something of a voyage with this
project. We are therefore proposing that the project would run in three time units of four
months. Each four month commission will be negotiated at the end of the first three months of
the contract. We have sought to put forward a proposal that is competitive and reasonable, and
which reflects our strong desire to work with Pfizer on this exciting project.
The initial four months would constitute intensive activity, both on site and office based. We
would aim to work in close partnership with Pfizer during this initial period to meet the
objectives as outlined in your brief issued on 7 November 2008, as well as meeting with
external stakeholders, after which an interim progress report will be presented. We do not
anticipate that we will be in a position to proffer full and final recommendations at the end of
the first four month period, or even at the end of the second one.
Total four month fee (invoiced @ £20,550 monthly): £82,200
The above (discounted) fee is quoted in anticipation of any agency instruction on any
development brought forward to be given to CBRE and does not include disbursements.
This fee proposal is intended to recognise the senior personnel that will be involved with the
project, especially in terms of the core team, and their significant experience of successfully
undertaking assignments of this nature. The fee has been structured on a beneficial basis which
is a reflection of our enthusiasm for the site and our belief that we can make something very
significant happen.
Time to be committed (on average):
Trevor Nicholson (Project Leader) - 2 days per week
Jackie Sadek - 2 days per fortnight
Nick Compton - 2 days per four month period
Senior Surveyor 2 days per week
It is assumed that fees are based on the full input of the core team and an appropriate input
from a wider team; however, if in-depth detailed work is required from the wider team then this
may need to be agreed and priced at the time. For your information, the standard CBRE Hourly
Rates are as follows:
Executive Director £300
Senior Director £250 (e.g JS and NC)
Director £200 (e.g TN)
Associate Director £175 (tba)
Senior Surveyor £150 (tba)
Any work to be commissioned outside the brief would be clearly negotiated with Pfizer on an
“open book” basis at the appropriate time.

SUPPORT ANTICIPATED FROM PFIZER/SEEDA
We would propose a fortnightly on site project meeting, chaired actioned and minuted by
CBRE, during the first four month time unit, reducing to monthly in the second and third terms.
These meetings are designed to encourage everybody to embark upon ‘The Journey’ together;
they will sometimes be creative architectural and landscape visioning sessions to which a cross
section of users might be invited, detailed financial modelling sessions, local stakeholder
workshops or simply progress updates.
A working party attending from Pfizer and SEEDA to all these meetings would be welcome and
constructive, but it remains to be decided how often each specialist actually needs to attend.
The input of Pfizer and SEEDA’s PR departments will be important in order to garner local
support and patronage of any scheme.
Pfizer Inputs
It CBRE is chosen, we will be supplied with the following from Pfizer:
A detailed master plan for the existing buildings which will highlight what current buildings
capacity is available over a 3 year horizon.
Science and facilities offering identified to date
Clarity on the flood risk situation - Pfizer will deal direct with the EA.
A communications and meetings framework with internal and external stakeholders and
project team members
a
15
ASSIGNMENT OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this assignment Pfizer will be able to:
Decide what level of investment Pfizer and other partners can reasonably provide, with
subsequent returns, based on a clear operating model.
Complete selection of developer / partner organisations.
Understand the commercial value of the available assets including infrastructure.
Confirm in sufficient detail the science park offering in terms of space, science and support
(business and / or government)
Decide whether energy, residential or other options identified should be pursued.
Complete detailed master planning for the whole site which will provide the framework for
any new buildings and infrastructure.
Embark on a sustained and targeted marketing effort with an outstanding prospectus with
clear themes and market segmentation.
CBRE/HLW will co-ordinate with both Pfizer and external parties during the assignment and
produce interim reports to ensure timely completion
a

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, please be aware that this is merely the most preliminary of proposals, written to
meet the terms of your immediate Brief. Within the allocated time frame, any document we
produce can only briefly introduce the scale of ambition which we believe could be realised on
a site of this size and strategic importance.
We see this as very much a partnership project which will take a year to bed in and the fees that
we have suggested above are a realistic assessment of what it would take to realise the
potential for Pfizer to forge a new concept in land use for corporate organisations.
We would very much welcome the opportunity of meeting with the Sandwich Leadership Team
to outline the full extent of our vision for this site and for Pfizer’s positioning as a pre-eminent
knowledge-based organisation.

CHATTENDEN
BARRACKS AND LODGE
HILL, MEDWAY, KENT
STATUS
CBRE have acted for Land Securities in winning the bid to become
the MOD’s Land Sales Delivery Partner for these 2 sites. CBRE will
continue to advise Land Securities on all aspects of the sites going
forward, including town planning, development consultancy,
development land sales, project marketing and masterplanning .
CLIENT
Land Securities.
SIZE
The two adjacent sites, totalling over 700 acres, have the potential
to accommodate over 5,000 residential units and 800,000 sq ft of
employment space.
CHALLENGE
Land Securities were bidding for the appointment as Land Sales
Delivery Partner to the Ministry of Defence for the redevelopment of
Chattenden Barracks and Lodge Hill, Medway, Kent.
Land Securities were to take a leading role in partnership with the
MoD on the infrastructure, preparation and management of the sites
for ultimate disposal.
SOLUTION
CBRE created a bespoke multi-discipline team to advise Land
Securities on their bid. CBRE were appointed due to their local
knowledge of Kent, strong market presence and extensive resources
including comprehensive agency and consultancy expertise.
CBRE had previously advised Land Securities on other large projects,
including Project MoDEL, the Defence Training Review and Croydon
URV.
They had also advised Defence Estates on various sites and
understood their key objectives and guidelines.
The CBRE Land Agency & Regeneration team together with the
Planning department advised Land Securities on planning matters,
residential consultancy including design criteria, quantum, mix and
unit types, financial modelling, and marketing and disposal strategy.

CLIENT
Land Securities.
SIZE
6 Million Square feet Commercial Space. 4,000 Higher Density
Residential units, in conjunction with 6,000 further lower density
family residential units on 1,000 acres.
CHALLENGE
Perhaps the ultimate ‘Placemaking Challenge’. A vast wasteland is
to be transformed into a town and commercial centre that will
ultimately be home and workplace to a large number of people, all
predicated upon the new rail service with its 17 minute commute to
London and 2.5 hour journey to Paris.
CBRE gave market facing advice throughout the Masterplanning
process, working closely with Project Architects Arup, and the
substantial client project team. Issues such as target market,
phasing, design perception, financial viability, local community and
Planning issues were constantly examined and progressed.
SOLUTION
The CBRE Kent Residential Consultancy Team has worked in
conjunction with the City Office team for a considerable time
towards a solution via many milestones of achieving Planning
Consents for individual phases and ultimately completion of the
Masterplanning of the whole project.
Market forces will dictate the eventual implementation of the
scheme, which will undoubtedly become an exemplar of mixed use
Placemaking, combining as it does a significant transport hub with
a place to live and work.

CHALLENGE
To create a new place in the middle of a tired Town Centre with a
low-quality retail offer, whilst embracing and invigorating the
Georgian street scene, which had become run-down and hidden.
SOLUTION
CBRE has an experienced Kent team with in depth local knowledge
which drew upon Development Consultancy experience on similar
projects elsewhere to help the Architects design a new Town Centre
from the inside out, sensitively combining the traditional High Street
with a contemporary tower, open spaces, parking and pedestrian
walkways.
Gravesend’s waterfront location was celebrated and included as a
feature for people to enjoy rather than ignored, which had been
the legacy of the gradual build up of industrial uses over the years.

CHALLENGE
To create a completely new community on 2.5 km of Thames
waterfront, within a short Fastrack bus ride of Ebbsfleet International
Station, and its 17minute journey time to London and 2.5 hours to
Paris.
SOLUTION
The layout and density mix of homes was crucial, and was designed to
attract a balance of purchasers who would both see the advantage of
an extremely fast London commute, as well as enjoying a family based
community with a local focus.
Several period wharf buildings are to be preserved, celebrating the
area’s docklands heritage, and connectivity to local centres of
Gravesend and Dartford is provided by the dedicated Fastrack bus
service, which passes through the scheme.

REFERENCE PROJECTS
UKAEA/STFC
Harwell and Culham Sites, UK
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is a non-
departmental public body funded by DTI. The agency pioneered the use of
nuclear energy in the UK.
As part of its mission to maximise income from land and to promote the
UK’s scientific agenda, UKAEA instructed CBRE to assist with the creation of
a strategic plan for its two main sites at Harwell (740 acres) and Culham
(130 acres).
Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, UK
Since project inception in Nov 2004 the developed strategy has been
implemented, resulting in the announcement of the creation of the Harwell
Science and Innovation Campus in the 2006 Budget. CBRE has led the
project team to select a private sector partner to form the JV responsible for
the new campus throughout the project, resulting in the selection of
Goodman as partner in August 2008.
Work undertaken:
• Organisation of workshops to discuss and formulate strategy.
• Advice on land use allocations and values.
• Advice on R&D property and science park dynamics.
• Financial and scenario modelling.
• Advice on private sector JV’s and partner expectations.
• Support to UKAEA in promoting strategy to OST, DTI and other Gov’t
bodies and site stakeholders.
• Project planning (GANT charts etc).
• Implementing OJEU based partner selection process.
• Leading negotiations with partner candidates.

UNILEVER CORPORATE R&D
Bedford UK
Following the acquisition of Bestfoods in 2002, Unilever identified a need
to review and potentially consolidate its global R&D activities. Secondary
objectives had also been considered such as the needs to change the
culture of their R&D sites and to extract capital from owned sites.
CBRE Corporate Strategies were appointed to undertake a consultancy
process to identify options available and specifically review the ownership
of Colworth Park, one of two key Unilever R&D sites in the UK.
Colworth Park had evolved as an owned Unilever site for over 50 years
and had become the centre for crop trialing, food research and corporate
‘blue sky’ thinking.
Following the first phases of the process a main board paper and
presentation was made outlining a plan to retain approx 30,000 sq m of
Unilever occupation under 13 new leases and release surplus property and
surrounding land for further development into a research park. To allow
Unilever to share in the upside, a joint venture vehicle was created to hold
the leasebacks and undertake development. A lengthy selection process
was undertaken to identify the most suitable joint venture partner.
The various phases of the consultation process have just been completed
and progress is being made towards concluding a transaction with the JV
partner later this year.
The consultation process has involved:
• Environmental studies
• Development appraisals and financial modelling
• Scenario modelling and visioning
• Market demand analysis
• Facilities and servicing re-organisation
• Creation of 13 new leases and tax efficient JV vehicle
• JV Partner assessment and bidding process

PFIZER GLOBAL R&D
USA, Canada, France, Italy
Pfizer have grown to become the largest global pharmaceutical company
by undertaking a series of substantial corporate acquisitions, initially
Warner Lambert and then more recently Pharmacia (who had themselves
just acquired Upjohn).
This activity has lead to an over-supply of R&D capacity in both North
America and Europe. CBRE Life Sciences Group were appointed to assist in
the identification of surplus accommodation and the consequent creation
and implementation of a global disposal programme.
Pfizer GRD Campus, Skokie IL, USA
Through this process a number of major sites were identified for disposal,
initially to other potential users and in some cases to developers. CBRE
worked closely with their strategic partners, CUH2A, R&D masterplanners
to prepare each site for the market and to maximise potential value.

  • 1. Our Vision for Pfizer Village A
  • 2. a SANDWICH SITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT This document aims to establish the credentials of the Project Team assembled by CB Richard Ellis to address the challenge set by Pfizer – propose a strategy which will optimise the value of the entire Pfizer site at Sandwich, Kent. Relevant experience will be demonstrated of similar large-scale regeneration development projects, and of the team’s ability to work with both the private sector and large government bodies such as SEEDA. Particular focus on actual experience in Kent will also be highlighted. Attention will be paid to the important relationship between Pfizer and its neighbours in Sandwich Town; and we will explore the possibility of creating even stronger links with the town and its inhabitants. This document will offer an illustrative draft layout of how the various dynamics might work; pointing out the recommended scale and scope of the significant potential offered by this most unusual opportunity. Through the vehicle of this document and at all stages of the selection process CBRE will demonstrate: our tremendous enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to this project our considered and coherent approach to all key issues the capabilities of our extremely well lead, passionate and dynamic project team Pfizer’s challenge will be addressed in greater detail during the next stage of engagement, where focus will be given to the wider economic aspect of the brief.

  • 4. a 3 INTRODUCTION CB Richard Ellis is delighted to respond to Pfizer’s invitation to tender for consultancy services on the Sandwich site development project, as outlined in your document issued on 7 November 2008. We thank you for including us in your invitation list and for allowing us to respond to such an exciting proposition. CBRE is currently representing Pfizer on several disposition assignments around the globe. These assignments include the leasing of 750,000 square feet of office space in Midtown Manhattan, the leasing of 90,000 square feet of office space in Paris, and the subleasing of 25,000 square feet of office space in Denver Colorado. In addition CBRE is currently representing Pfizer in the sale of former manufacturing properties in Puerto Rico, Missouri, and Indiana. In order to meet the demands of this challenging assignment, we have teamed up with HLW, architects and master planners, who are also well known to you. Through this partnership we have established the strongest possible team across all necessary disciplines.
  • 5. a 4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The project relates to the Pfizer owned and operated Research and Development site (including redundant manufacturing facilities) on some 237 acres located at Sandwich, Kent. In the first instance, Pfizer has identified land, buildings, and infrastructure, that may be available for sale, lease or sharing with other organisations including: At least 400,000 RSF of office and laboratory accommodation Land at the south of the Pfizer site which is near the town of Sandwich. Infrastructure including utilities, roads, parking, security and site amenities such as staff restaurants, gym and shops Pfizer’s initial research has suggested that a science or business park concept may be viable whilst mixed use development and energy generation should also be considered. In subsequent discussions with Pfizer, our representatives have expressed the view that the scope as initially identified, although laudable as it stands, may be somewhat lacking in ambition. The multi-disciplinary team of CBRE/HLW firmly believe that the potential of this site stretches far beyond the confines of the existing brief, allowing a rare opportunity to create something of real value on the East Coast of England. The timing is also right for a large well placed corporate, such as Pfizer, to undertake some counter-cyclical activity. We believe this project will be a shining example in partnership, collaboration and regeneration best practice; it will be a symbol to underpin the values of the Pfizer brand and act as showpiece of its operations. Progress. Promise. PFIZER
  • 6. a 5 MEETING YOUR OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES You have identified two major objectives for Pfizer from this process: Realise value from existing excess assets comprising buildings, land and infrastructure that allows Pfizer to step change its facilities cost base going forward. Provide a development framework that allows the site to transition from a single company to a multi-organisational site, maximising synergies between Pfizer and other organisations where possible. The second objective will take initial precedence and by its execution will allow the first objective to be delivered as a result.
  • 7. a 6 THE CBRE/HLW VISION Bournville for Our Times We have already discussed the possibility for creating a “Bournville for Our Times” in the same vein as best practice in corporate “place making” such as: Bournville Village – http://www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/about_chocolate/history_cadbury/social_pioneers Port Sunlight – http://www.portsunlightvillage.com/page.asp?pageid=history The old Quaker families created villages of mixed use developments which operated entirely on a human scale and - crucially - where people were able to live in close proximity to where they worked. These have delivered highly successful and sustainable places which have both endured but have also made major lasting statements about the industrial investors behind the settlements concerned. While the presentation of a large scale regeneration opportunity which meets government objectives, as well as incorporating a strong economic, residential development and environmental story stands clear as a winning formula; the detail cannot be determined at the outset. We are proposing to embark on a “journey” with this project along a route that will evolve as we travel forward. The exact elements of the scheme to be presented, initially internally, but then at regional level, will take some time to develop, but a “route map” will almost certainly require the following components: Revisiting/freshening up ideas for the site Complete branding exercise around the opportunity Internal consensus building campaign across Pfizer’s global operation A “regeneration narrative” for the entire site and it’s immediate environs A “contextual narrative” in respect of regional and national regeneration policy, with particular reference to government policy, in particular the emerging Homes and Communities Agency Meetings with key external stakeholders
  • 8. a 7 Our vision for a “Pfizer Village” would almost certainly include the following elements working together in parallel: 1. Secure Accommodation for Pfizer (and its associates) Central to all the plans for the site is the need to put the secure operational requirements of Pfizer R&D above all other considerations. The show must be kept on the road, unfettered and unconstrained, throughout the entire project. The key objective of this work is that Pfizer’s operation is protected and enhanced. We would seek to demarcate a clearly secure area at the outset and identify operational requirements to be safeguarded. However, a priority would be to “open up” the rest of the site as quickly as possible to indicate that the Pfizer Village is “open for business”. We see this as an essential step to underpin the inward investment strategy for the site. 2. A “Knowledge Village” We are familiar with the challenges of developing Science Parks, with local experience on the Kent Science Park situated outside Sittingbourne. Whilst we are dubious about a strategy predicated entirely on a science park for this site, we believe there is much room for a cluster of “knowledge based” businesses and would seek to encourage this through the provision of incubator units for SMEs and micro-businesses, in partnership with an appropriate operator of managed space. Careful work with the Pfizer supply chain as well as coordinating with an appropriate HE provider (see below) would form the beginnings of building the profile of Pfizer Village as a “knowledge address”. 3. A Zero Carbon Target Pfizer has “clean green” brand values, image and positioning and also is unafraid of embracing energy provision having already installed energy plant on site. The Pegwell Bay area has a history of energy generation, although the Richborough power plant has now been decommissioned. Central to the values of the Pfizer Village that we would seek to develop in partnership, would be our wish to aim for a zero carbon settlement. The homes would be Code Level 4 (or above) and any new buildings would aim for BREEAM “excellent” rating. We have discussed Combined Heat and Power (CHP) provision for both the existing stock and the new build. We would also seek to include a waste-to-energy plant (or more than one) as appropriate, potentially serving the town of Sandwich as well as the Pfizer Village requirements.
  • 9. a 8 4. A Higher Education strategy Pfizer has excellent links with a number of higher education institutions and it may be that this could be developed to bring some HE provision onto site at Pfizer Village. Clearly this would be a key component of the “knowledge village” portioning for the site. We would be seeking a strategic tie in with a world class institution as the quality of the partner will be key to the positioning. This would have the additional benefit of allowing the development of some student housing, which always adds value to any place making strategy. 5. Connectivity to the existing medieval settlement of Sandwich Although the site currently behaves very much like an “out of town” facility, a cursory glance at an aerial photograph shows it is actually in very close proximity to the beautiful ancient town of Sandwich to the immediate south. It is important for the future success of Pfizer Village that it will be accessible on foot and on bicycle from the existing settlement at Sandwich. Sensitively retro-fitting the area with appropriate developments allowing walkways, cycle routes, roads and tracks for rapid transit systems (see transport below) through a carefully phased master plan will create a vibrant new community that works in harmony with the existing settlement. 6. “Early Win” residential component We will seek to bring forward a superb residential element, establishing a “tone” for the rest of the development. The provision of some appropriate residential development in the early part of the scheme, probably close to Sandwich town, will inspire confidence and provide seed funding for other elements which may be less commercially viable but which are still essential for the overall success of the project. We believe that there is potential for a range of different residential components to the Pfizer Village as well as the “early win” private housing for sale, other private housing opportunities may present themselves in different parts of the site and there could be potential for a student housing enclave (see above) as well as a retirement village. 7. “Other Use” Strategy We are clear that there are a number of uses that would work on this site, alongside the existing laboratories and offices. As well as the energy provision and the range of housing types already proposed, we believe there could also be scope for an appropriate hotel offering, some limited leisure and retail provision to meet the needs of the new settlement.
  • 10. a 9 8. Leisure Strategy We are conscious of the proximity of the beaches at Pegwell Bay, as well as the three magnificent golf courses and the potential for making something of the lake to the south for leisure purposes which is currently ignored. Central to the Pfizer Village concept will be quality of life issues and the provision of a diverse leisure offer will be very important. We believe that there are a number of commercial leisure operators who may well be interested in partnering us in this very beautiful location. 9. Local economic development strategy Pfizer sent an excellent message to the local community in East Kent during the construction phase of the new buildings in the 1990s when Bovis - on your behalf - made every effort to recruit and train local labour to build out the scheme. Similarly as that phase of developments was completed, we appreciate that your status as a significant local employer is very important to the economy of Kent. We would actively promote a strategy that targeted all new job opportunities, whether it be during construction or in the end-user phase toward the people of Sandwich, Ramsgate and Deal as well as the local smaller villages. We have vast experience of delivering this type of strategy, most notably at Paddington where we put 5,-000 local [people into work through the “Paddington First” agency which was formed in partnership with Job Centre Plus. 10. Transport Strategy The subject of car parking provision will need to be handled with some care and we must ensure that sufficient car parking is provided to stimulate a rigorous inward investment strategy whilst also positioning the Pfizer Village as an environment which discourages the use of the private car wherever possible. The fact that the rail link to London will reduce from 130 minutes to 84 minutes with the provision of the high speed link next year must be exploited and links must be strengthened with the Kent International Airport at Manston, which we tip for substantial improvement over the next 20 years. Walkways and cycle ways will be included as a matter of course as well as road connection to the town of Sandwich. Having had experience of delivering rapid transit systems (such as Fastrack in north Kent) we would also like to consider the inclusion of a rapid transit link on a segregated route linking the Pfizer Village to the other amenities in the area such as the railway station and tourist attractions.
  • 11. a 10 REGIONAL CONTEXT We appreciate that this particular Consultancy Services project is supported by SEEDA who, we understand, along with Pfizer will jointly evaluate proposals and options received from consulting organisations. We have worked extensively with SEEDA over the years, particularly in Kent, as will be noted from the appended Track Records. We have consulted with SEEDA in assembling this submission, and can confirm that references from them are readily available. In addition, we understand that Pfizer have also had initial discussions with SEEDA, UKTI, Kent County Council (KCC) and Dover District Council who support this project. Our team enjoys widespread connections throughout the Kent and SE England infrastructure from Locate in Kent through to the KCC Brussels office and beyond. Existing Residential Development The Developer Quayside Homes and their agents are known to us, and we have visited their scheme known as Willowbank in Sandwich, which forms the early part of a potential 300 dwellings between the town and Stonar Lake. Whilst suffering from the current economic downturn like all housebuilders, this scheme proves the desirability of residential development in this area, and there has been significant interest from local and incoming purchasers, both first time buyers and retirement/second home seekers. There is still a substantial amount of ‘waste’ and commercial land around the lake which could be Masterplanned into a larger mixed-use scheme, ultimately knitting together with a full-scale Science Park/Residential proposition. If required, the possibility of doing some kind of enabling deal with this Developer in the current climate would be considered good, and might be advantageous (though probably not essential), since they have already committed to a good deal of infrastructure, including extensive flood protection measures. The physical link between Pfizer Village and Sandwich would then be complete.
  • 12. a 11 OBJECTIVES The CBREHLW team will seek to: 1. Design and develop a comprehensive Masterplan for the layout, phasing, infrastructure, Planning Consents, building and/or marketing of the redevelopment of the site, both for existing buildings and proposed new build. 2. Provide fact based insight into the potential demand for the existing assets with clear recommendations of which organisations in each market segment should be approached and under what conditions. 3. Clearly identify the assets which will be most attractive to other organisations including infrastructure, services and science based offerings 4. Prepare a prospectus, which builds on the initial Pfizer prepared proposition, to allow a sustained and targeted marketing effort to commence. 5 Identify government funding support that will drive market sectors / themes and/or support defining the science / other offerings required for success 6 Develop a business model, including operating options, which takes account of investment, cash flow, commercial terms, returns, timelines, leasing and risk to allow investment decision making to take place. 7 Recommend developer / partners which should be short listed based on their experience and initial interest to any draft propositions clearly identifying under what terms they should be engaged.
  • 13. a 12 AREAS NOT WITHIN THE REMIT OF THIS WORK You have made it clear that the project includes assets on the following parcels only, which are currently within Pfizer ownership: Social Club 18.3 acres East Site 57.9 acres West Site 160 acres Dover Road 0.55 acres Total: 237 acres Not Included: Romac 32.6 acres North Site 36.8 acres Nature Reserve 63.6 acres Total: 133 acres In addition, we understand that the following items are out of scope and will be dealt directly by Pfizer: Capacity evaluation and rationalisation of the existing buildings based on Pfizer’s’ organisational needs going forward. Economic evaluation of disposal of buildings and plant which are rendered redundant and have no future potential use. Flood prevention (Pfizer will deal with the EA directly and feed in the outcome as it emerges) Disposal of redundant manufacturing assets unless they are to be re-used as part of a science / business park Sale of specific one off buildings – will be done with current brokerage agreements Programme managing a steering group on behalf of Pfizer.
  • 14. a 13 FEE STRUCTURE WITH PAYMENT SCHEDULE & TERMS In an unconstrained world we would ideally request a twelve month commission. However we recognise that we would - together and in partnership - be on something of a voyage with this project. We are therefore proposing that the project would run in three time units of four months. Each four month commission will be negotiated at the end of the first three months of the contract. We have sought to put forward a proposal that is competitive and reasonable, and which reflects our strong desire to work with Pfizer on this exciting project. The initial four months would constitute intensive activity, both on site and office based. We would aim to work in close partnership with Pfizer during this initial period to meet the objectives as outlined in your brief issued on 7 November 2008, as well as meeting with external stakeholders, after which an interim progress report will be presented. We do not anticipate that we will be in a position to proffer full and final recommendations at the end of the first four month period, or even at the end of the second one. Total four month fee (invoiced @ £20,550 monthly): £82,200 The above (discounted) fee is quoted in anticipation of any agency instruction on any development brought forward to be given to CBRE and does not include disbursements. This fee proposal is intended to recognise the senior personnel that will be involved with the project, especially in terms of the core team, and their significant experience of successfully undertaking assignments of this nature. The fee has been structured on a beneficial basis which is a reflection of our enthusiasm for the site and our belief that we can make something very significant happen. Time to be committed (on average): Trevor Nicholson (Project Leader) - 2 days per week Jackie Sadek - 2 days per fortnight Nick Compton - 2 days per four month period Senior Surveyor 2 days per week It is assumed that fees are based on the full input of the core team and an appropriate input from a wider team; however, if in-depth detailed work is required from the wider team then this may need to be agreed and priced at the time. For your information, the standard CBRE Hourly Rates are as follows: Executive Director £300 Senior Director £250 (e.g JS and NC) Director £200 (e.g TN) Associate Director £175 (tba) Senior Surveyor £150 (tba) Any work to be commissioned outside the brief would be clearly negotiated with Pfizer on an “open book” basis at the appropriate time.
  • 15. a 14 RESOURCES TO BE DEPLOYED BY CBRE/HLW Trevor Nicholson, Project Director Jackie Sadek Mike Gedye Nick Compton Andrew Talbot, Architect Winnie Wong, Architect Team member CVs are appended. SUPPORT ANTICIPATED FROM PFIZER/SEEDA We would propose a fortnightly on site project meeting, chaired actioned and minuted by CBRE, during the first four month time unit, reducing to monthly in the second and third terms. These meetings are designed to encourage everybody to embark upon ‘The Journey’ together; they will sometimes be creative architectural and landscape visioning sessions to which a cross section of users might be invited, detailed financial modelling sessions, local stakeholder workshops or simply progress updates. A working party attending from Pfizer and SEEDA to all these meetings would be welcome and constructive, but it remains to be decided how often each specialist actually needs to attend. The input of Pfizer and SEEDA’s PR departments will be important in order to garner local support and patronage of any scheme. Pfizer Inputs It CBRE is chosen, we will be supplied with the following from Pfizer: A detailed master plan for the existing buildings which will highlight what current buildings capacity is available over a 3 year horizon. Science and facilities offering identified to date Clarity on the flood risk situation - Pfizer will deal direct with the EA. A communications and meetings framework with internal and external stakeholders and project team members
  • 16. a 15 ASSIGNMENT OUTCOMES Upon completion of this assignment Pfizer will be able to: Decide what level of investment Pfizer and other partners can reasonably provide, with subsequent returns, based on a clear operating model. Complete selection of developer / partner organisations. Understand the commercial value of the available assets including infrastructure. Confirm in sufficient detail the science park offering in terms of space, science and support (business and / or government) Decide whether energy, residential or other options identified should be pursued. Complete detailed master planning for the whole site which will provide the framework for any new buildings and infrastructure. Embark on a sustained and targeted marketing effort with an outstanding prospectus with clear themes and market segmentation. CBRE/HLW will co-ordinate with both Pfizer and external parties during the assignment and produce interim reports to ensure timely completion
  • 17. a 16 CONCLUSION In conclusion, please be aware that this is merely the most preliminary of proposals, written to meet the terms of your immediate Brief. Within the allocated time frame, any document we produce can only briefly introduce the scale of ambition which we believe could be realised on a site of this size and strategic importance. We see this as very much a partnership project which will take a year to bed in and the fees that we have suggested above are a realistic assessment of what it would take to realise the potential for Pfizer to forge a new concept in land use for corporate organisations. We would very much welcome the opportunity of meeting with the Sandwich Leadership Team to outline the full extent of our vision for this site and for Pfizer’s positioning as a pre-eminent knowledge-based organisation. All site location images used throughout this document were taken by Trevor Nicholson; CBRE Director and Project Leader for the Sandwich Site Development Project.
  • 19. TRACK RECORDS a 18 CHATTENDEN BARRACKS AND LODGE HILL, MEDWAY, KENT STATUS CBRE have acted for Land Securities in winning the bid to become the MOD’s Land Sales Delivery Partner for these 2 sites. CBRE will continue to advise Land Securities on all aspects of the sites going forward, including town planning, development consultancy, development land sales, project marketing and masterplanning . CLIENT Land Securities. SIZE The two adjacent sites, totalling over 700 acres, have the potential to accommodate over 5,000 residential units and 800,000 sq ft of employment space. CHALLENGE Land Securities were bidding for the appointment as Land Sales Delivery Partner to the Ministry of Defence for the redevelopment of Chattenden Barracks and Lodge Hill, Medway, Kent. Land Securities were to take a leading role in partnership with the MoD on the infrastructure, preparation and management of the sites for ultimate disposal. SOLUTION CBRE created a bespoke multi-discipline team to advise Land Securities on their bid. CBRE were appointed due to their local knowledge of Kent, strong market presence and extensive resources including comprehensive agency and consultancy expertise. CBRE had previously advised Land Securities on other large projects, including Project MoDEL, the Defence Training Review and Croydon URV. They had also advised Defence Estates on various sites and understood their key objectives and guidelines.

  • 20. TRACK RECORDS a 19 EBBSFLEET VALLEY, NORTHFLEET, KENT STATUS CBRE was retained by Land Securities to advise on the substantial quantum of commercial space (mostly high quality offices, Retail and Hotels) and Higher Density residential units surrounding the new Ebbsfleet International Station. CLIENT Land Securities. SIZE 6 Million Square feet Commercial Space. 4,000 Higher Density Residential units, in conjunction with 6,000 further lower density family residential units on 1,000 acres. CHALLENGE Perhaps the ultimate ‘Placemaking Challenge’. A vast wasteland is to be transformed into a town and commercial centre that will ultimately be home and workplace to a large number of people, all predicated upon the new rail service with its 17 minute commute to London and 2.5 hour journey to Paris. CBRE gave market facing advice throughout the Masterplanning process, working closely with Project Architects Arup, and the substantial client project team. Issues such as target market, phasing, design perception, financial viability, local community and Planning issues were constantly examined and progressed. SOLUTION The CBRE Kent Residential Consultancy Team has worked in conjunction with the City Office team for a considerable time towards a solution via many milestones of achieving Planning Consents for individual phases and ultimately completion of the Masterplanning of the whole project. Market forces will dictate the eventual implementation of the scheme, which will undoubtedly become an exemplar of mixed use Placemaking, combining as it does a significant transport hub with a place to live and work.

Working with the Architects, we have provided market-facing intelligence through the Planning Application right up to the point of sale, with a market launch scheduled for 2010. CLIENT Edinburgh House Estates. SIZE 650 Residential Units with Hotel and ancillary mixed use elements. CHALLENGE To create a new place in the middle of a tired Town Centre with a low-quality retail offer, whilst embracing and invigorating the Georgian street scene, which had become run-down and hidden. SOLUTION CBRE has an experienced Kent team with in depth local knowledge which drew upon Development Consultancy experience on similar projects elsewhere to help the Architects design a new Town Centre from the inside out, sensitively combining the traditional High Street with a contemporary tower, open spaces, parking and pedestrian walkways. Gravesend’s waterfront location was celebrated and included as a feature for people to enjoy rather than ignored, which had been the legacy of the gradual build up of industrial uses over the years.

CLIENT South East England Development Agency. SIZE 1800 Residential units with 300,000 sq ft Commercial Space. CHALLENGE To create a completely new community on 2.5 km of Thames waterfront, within a short Fastrack bus ride of Ebbsfleet International Station, and its 17minute journey time to London and 2.5 hours to Paris. SOLUTION The layout and density mix of homes was crucial, and was designed to attract a balance of purchasers who would both see the advantage of an extremely fast London commute, as well as enjoying a family based community with a local focus. Several period wharf buildings are to be preserved, celebrating the area’s docklands heritage, and connectivity to local centres of Gravesend and Dartford is provided by the dedicated Fastrack bus service, which passes through the scheme.
