127 CHARING CROSS ROAD – PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED FOR THREE FLOOR EXTENSION


RDI, the income focused UK-REIT, is pleased to announce that it has received a resolution to grant planning
permission to deliver a significant extension at 127 Charing Cross Road, London.

The permission will provide for a 47 per cent increase in the overall area of the property to 56,576 sq ft
through the development of an additional three floors of office space and an improved reception. The
scheme has been designed with an impressive ground floor arrival, efficient floorplates, natural light on
three sides, a number of private terraces and a communal roof terrace. The building is currently fully let and
is anticipated to remain occupied until 2021.

The property is extremely well located, approximately 150 metres from the new Tottenham Court Road
Crossrail station. The area benefits from large scale infrastructure investment and mixed-use development
activity, whilst only a short walk from Soho, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. This wholesale
regeneration, combined with strong transport access, is attracting high levels of pre-letting activity of
neighbouring office developments at record rental levels demonstrating the strong occupier demand for the
location.

Adrian Horsburgh, Property Director at RDI, commented:

"This is a fantastic result, which provides us with the opportunity to significantly enhance the size of the
property without undertaking a complete redevelopment. Recent pre-lettings in the area have been achieved
at record rental levels and with momentum building towards the opening of Crossrail in 2021 and other
surrounding regeneration activity moving towards completion, we believe this property will be very well
positioned to capitalise on the growing attraction of this prime area of London."
