Managing Director

OP has successfully delivered a £1.7 million CAT A refurbishment of One Grafton Mews, a prominent office building in Milton Keynes' business district.

The project, has revitalised c.10,000 sq ft of office space across three floors, creating a modern and efficient workplace environment.

Key features of the refurbishment include a new ground-floor reception and welcome area with collaborative spaces, refreshed washrooms and common areas, and new, energy-efficient M&E systems.

Lift lobbies have been removed on the second and third floors to maximise lettable office space and new lighting has been installed throughout. OP has also implemented new fire safety measures to ensure building control compliance.

Sustainability was a key focus of the project, with materials such as VOC paints and flooring products chosen for their environmentally friendly credentials. Raised access floors and doors have been retained wherever possible, further reducing the building's environmental impact and lowering operating costs for tenants.

The fast-tracked project was completed in 12 weeks.

The completion of One Grafton Mews marks a significant milestone in our commitment to creating innovative workspaces. By maximising the available space and enhancing the arrival experience, we've not only increased the building's appeal but its functionality too. The project showcases OP’s ability to deliver high-quality refurbishments within challenging timeframes.

The project team included TFT as project consultant, Burnley Wilson Fish as quantity surveyor, and KJ Tait Engineers handling M&E consultancy. Bray Fox Smith and CBRE are retained as letting agents for the property.

One Grafton Mews now offers over 20,000 sq ft of prime office accommodation, with the third-floor pre-let to Woodfines Solicitors. The building's strategic location, adjacent to The Pinnacle development, provides occupiers with access to additional amenities in the heart of Milton Keynes' business community.
