Global workspace provider Regus has agreed a deal to open a new centre at 63 St Mary Axe, London, further extending its network in the capital.
The centre, which is due to open in April, will occupy the refurbished building’s first and second floors (over 19,000 sq ft) and house over 160 workstations. A range of flexible workspace and business services will be on offer, including more than 70 serviced offices of varying sizes and three high-specification meeting rooms which can be booked by the hour.
The site will also feature a large, open-plan co-working space, to cater to the growing number of professionals in the capital who are adopting a more collaborative way of working.
Based on the experience of other sites, Regus expects the space to attract a varied customer base including individual co-workers, start-ups, SMEs and multinational corporations. The location is particularly convenient for commuters, due to the building’s close proximity to Liverpool Street Station.
Richard Morris, UK CEO at Regus said: “We’re excited to be establishing a presence in this stunning building which will be another conveniently-located addition to our network of workspace in the capital.
“Co-working has long been popular amongst entrepreneurs and small businesses and is now becoming increasingly relevant to firms of all sizes seeking to tap into the dynamism and innovative thinking that a collaborative environment can bring. This centre will appeal to these firms seeking a professional space which provides the optimum conditions for a productive workforce but also gives access to a dynamic community of fellow professionals.”
Laura Moore-Gwyn of CBRE, who advised Regus on the acquisition of the office space said, “CBRE are delighted to have been involved in this transaction. We selected this building as it provides a prime opportunity to further enhance Regus’ flexible workspace offering whilst also helping to meet the increasing demand from their customers in the City market.”
