About 1 Boundary Road

1 Boundary Road is a B-Grade commercial building in Century City with a recorded gross lettable area of 4,071 m². Public building material identifies it as a freestanding office property with basement parking, a ground floor and first floor, giving occupiers a more self-contained operating environment than a conventional office floor in a shared block. Documented internal areas include reception, meeting and boardroom rooms, open-plan and cellular offices, training or auditorium space, kitchens, storage and staff facilities. The property also has prominent visibility towards the N1, documented on-site parking and a generator. Canal Walk is described as directly across the road, placing retail, restaurants and coffee shops close to the building. These characteristics make 1 Boundary Road most relevant to larger office users that value parking, corporate identity, staff facilities and flexible internal planning.

Position in the local market

1 Boundary Road is best understood as a freestanding office property rather than an office suite within a larger block. Its standalone form, N1 visibility and signage exposure support a recognisable corporate identity, while the basement, ground and first-floor arrangement can separate parking, client-facing areas and staff workspaces. The documented mix of open-plan offices, cellular rooms, meeting and training facilities, reception and staff amenities gives the property an operational character suited to organisations needing several workplace functions under one roof. As a B-Grade building, occupiers should assess the planned fit-out and technical specification against their own operational standards rather than assume newly built premium finishes.

Space at 1 Boundary Road

Office space

The building is configured principally for office and administration use, with a formal reception, open-plan workspace, private offices, meeting and boardroom rooms, kitchens and larger training or auditorium areas. The floor arrangement can support executive, client-facing and operational functions within the same property. Its previous corporate and education-oriented layouts also make it relevant to occupiers with significant training, customer-service or administrative requirements, subject to fit-out and regulatory needs for the proposed use.

Building features

Freestanding multi-level office configuration

Baker Street describes a basement parking level, ground floor and first floor, with reception, meeting rooms, open-plan and cellular offices, kitchens, training space and an auditorium.

On-site parking

Baker Street records approximately 50 open parking bays and 81 basement bays. Parking allocation for any occupation should be confirmed against staff and visitor requirements.

Backup generator

Broll and Baker Street both document an on-site generator. Public material does not establish its capacity, runtime or exact building coverage, so these points should be confirmed before occupation.

Fibre infrastructure

Baker Street lists fibre infrastructure among the property features, and Brightwave's building article also records fibre infrastructure. Provider choice, capacity and redundancy should be confirmed for the selected premises.

N1 visibility and signage exposure

Both Broll and Baker Street highlight the building's visibility from the N1 and its signage exposure, giving a freestanding occupier a stronger external identity than a typical shared office floor.

Reception, meeting and training facilities

The documented layout includes a main reception and waiting area, meeting rooms, boardroom facilities, training rooms and an auditorium, supporting businesses with frequent staff or visitor interaction.

Occupier fit

Who this building may suit

Best for

  • larger businesses seeking a freestanding corporate office identity
  • organisations requiring a mix of open-plan, private office, meeting and training areas
  • BPO, customer-service, administration or education operators with substantial staff and visitor flows
  • occupiers that place a high value on on-site parking and N1 visibility

Strengths

  • freestanding building identity rather than a conventional shared office floor
  • recorded 4,071 m² gross lettable area for larger operational requirements
  • documented N1 visibility and signage exposure
  • substantial documented open and basement parking
  • mix of office, meeting, training and staff-support spaces
  • Canal Walk and public transport connections within the immediate Century City context

Points to consider

  • The building is B-Grade, so occupiers should assess fit-out quality and technical services against their own specification.
  • Generator presence is documented, but capacity and coverage should be confirmed before relying on it for business continuity.
  • Parking supply is documented at building level, but the final allocation for a particular occupation should be confirmed.
  • Non-standard uses should be tested against building, zoning and any sector-specific approval requirements.

Building background

Public building material records more than one operational phase at 1 Boundary Road. Baker Street states that the property was previously owned and used by Nashua and later used for educational purposes, which is consistent with the documented classrooms, training rooms and auditorium. Brightwave reported on 30 August 2026 that the building had recently changed ownership and that a refurbishment programme was planned for September and October 2026. That report positioned the next phase around modernising the property and reconsidering how its spaces could be configured for future commercial occupation. The established history is therefore one of corporate office use, education and administration, followed by a new ownership and refurbishment phase in 2026.

What parking is documented at 1 Boundary Road?
