Peterhouse Technology Park in Cambridge, UK

Hollis was appointed to provide a coordinated suite of technical and commercial reports to support the marketing and sale of Peterhouse Technology Park, a multi-building logistics and industrial asset in Cambridge.

The instruction covered a total of 139,281 sq ft across four industrial buildings, together with a car park plan, and required a set of assignable vendor reports that would stand up to purchaser scrutiny and help maintain momentum through the transaction process.

At the heart of the commission was the delivery of Measured Surveys and Area Referencing, providing independently verified floor areas and clear, consistent measurement data to underpin valuation and reduce the risk of challenge during due diligence. Accurate area information was critical to supporting the asset’s marketing strategy and ensuring confidence for agents, purchasers and funders alike.

Alongside this, Hollis delivered a comprehensive package of supporting technical reports, including building surveys, vertical transportation, M&E engineering and a Phase 1 Environmental assessment, supplemented by ESG and sustainability advice. Bringing these services together enabled a joined-up view of the asset’s condition, performance and compliance, rather than a series of siloed reports.

Our integrated approach meant surveyors and engineers worked collaboratively, sharing site inspections and data where appropriate. This reduced duplication, improved consistency across reports and enabled potential issues to be identified and addressed early, helping to avoid delays later in the transaction.

The result was a clear, robust and market-ready vendor pack that supported LaSalle Investment Management in presenting the asset with confidence. By providing assignable reports and reliable area data from the outset, the instruction helped streamline the sales process, minimise risk for all parties and support informed decision-making throughout the disposal.

This project demonstrates how accurate Measured Surveys and Area Referencing, combined with coordinated technical and ESG advice, can play a pivotal role in protecting value and enabling smooth, efficient transactions in the logistics and industrial sector.
