One final thing that you may want to consider is location. While it is true that we live in a digital world where information can be across the globe in less than a second, having the voice over production company that you hire close by could be an advantage. It is nice to be able to tour the studio and to also meet the voice over talent. If you meet the talent, you can explain exactly what you want for your project. If you like a business but the location isn’t close don’t let that stop you. Use the production company that feels right to you, the choice is yours.

With this new development, Glasgow will be a prime area for such projects utilising heretofore disused areas and it will become highly attractive to investors.

With the massive funding of £200m being invested in it, this area, which is roughly the size of 10 football fields, will become the largest regeneration project in the UK.

The regeneration plan is the brainchild of the Glasgow City Council and the construction group Dawn. President of the council Steven Purcell and Dawn head Alan MacDonald are jointly credited with having brought the ideas to fruition. This will be a huge boost for the regeneration of East End properties in the city, they said. They also pointed out that such projects underline the huge possibilities that can arise from effective government and public partnerships.

This development, called the Collegelands project, will encompass constructing a shared office area over 102,000 sq ft for the City Council. There will also be a multi-storey car parking area and student flats numbering about 250 in all. Plans are also out in place for the development of a Ramada Encore complete with 200-room hotel, restaurant and meeting spaces. With all preliminary formalities completed, the project is estimated to be completed sometime in 2011.

The buttons are estimated to save about 34 tons of CO2 per 500 computer consoles. Additionally, Avanta emphasis the value and need for recycling by its tenants by placing bins in the kitchen and break out areas.

Although there are a few other building operators that have followed these two businesses with green considerations, on the whole most people cannot afford to invest in green capital, although the ideology is appealing.

The service industry is expected to be a leader in green office space within the coming few years.

It is worthwhile to note however that even though it may be costly to invest in green office space, both Avanta and Icon have enjoyed the cost saving that such investment incur down the line. Stimulus packages from the Government may help other companies that are looking at ‘going green’ as well.

Gulf Investors Might Be Eyeing a Piece of British Land

The British Land Company, a widely diversified Real Estate Investment Firm started back in 1856, may soon see new owners, if the rumours doing the rounds are true. The British Land Company was first established with a charter to enable British subjects to buy land, so that they could vote in the Parliamentary elections. With head offices in London, the company manages some of the most premium real estate in the country, such as the retail space leased out to Sainsbury’s and Tesco, as well as their offices to rent in London at the Broadgate development within London’s commercial district.

The speculation is that a group of investors, including steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and the Abu Dhabi royal family have approached Credit Suisse on how to go about taking management control of the company. The move reportedly comes at a time when the real estate market finally seems to have stabilized after its disastrous run over the last year or so.

The rumours have triggered a buying spree on British Land, which rose over 8 per cent on the stock market to cross 500. Other real estate companies too did well, with Derwent London and Hammerson going up a healthy 49p and 10.2p respectively. Market analysts are however not sure if the deal will really happen, since investors from the Gulf usually do not engage in this kind of direct takeover of businesses.

It may be recalled that just last year, British Land sold off around ₤2 billion of its real estate property to reduce its debt burden. At the time, chief executive for British Land, Chris Grigg had said that though the market seemed to be stabilizing in certain areas, income from shopping centres continued to fall because of lower rentals.
