Case Study – St Katharine Docks

Flexible berth layout provides a maritime centre for international events based in London

Camper & Nicholsons Marinas (C&NM) won the bid to provide a holistic consultancy and management service, which included undertaking a full condition report, complete marina re-design, capital costing estimates, tender adjudication and project management, through to operations and rebranding.

In March 2015, C&NM were initially commissioned by the owner to complete a full condition and operational review. The conclusion of that review was the marina required significant investment and a total reconfiguration and modernisation of the marina was proposed.

In April 2016, C&NM was awarded the redesign and refurbishment of the marina, undertook the project management supervision, and subsequent final operational management and full Camper & Nicholsons branding of the marina on behalf of the new owners.

This is a good example of C&NMs range of knowledge, skills and expertise being used from the very start of a project, including planning authority consultations, through to the successful operational management of the ‘new’ marina; all whilst continuing to operate the marina and manage the expectations of all the stakeholders involved, including boat owners, who had to remain in the marina. Despite these tight constraints of the project, its central London location with complex logistics and the restrictions on working times, the project was delivered both on programme and within budget.

Commercial Property - Improving the wider St Katharine Docks Estate, its perception and value

Following the significant investment in the entire St Katharine Docks estate by the current owners of the property, the Camper & Nicholsons design and operation is now paying dividends, with the number of new commercial, retail and F&B tenants being attracted to the vibrancy of the location.

The refurbished marina is providing the estate with a USP which attracts tenants who want an inspiring and unconventional setting for their business in Central London.

The transformed development, which has numerous new on-shore retail, bars and restaurants, is focused around the centre piece of the marina, now managed and branded by Camper & Nicholsons Marinas.

Occupancy in the marina has grown in to close to capacity and the shoreside tenancies, which were fully subscribed from day one, remain 100% occupied but with improved per-square-foot rental rates.
