Workspace Group
Workspace Group specialises in providing flexible, affordable business space to small and medium sized enterprises throughout London. The current portfolio consists of more than 120 business centres, providing approximately 6.5 million sq ft of office, serviced office, studio, workshop and light industrial facilities let to over 4000 business customers, all of which is owned and managed directly by Workspace Group.
Our core business is made up of investing in and upgrading / developing our property portfolio and supporting all the SME’s that occupy them. The properties present some distinct environmental challenges as our strategy has been mainly based around the purchase of older buildings, which can be regenerated and modernised for efficient, low cost operation. The portfolio has considerable potential for change of use and intensification, in line with The London Plan, and we aim to unlock this and create additional value by acting responsibly with issues of sustainability at the forefront of our thinking.
Membership of the Better Buildings Partnership supports our responsibility to contribute to London’s ambitious environmental, social and economic goals and work together with all our key stakeholders and property partners.
“We remain firmly committed to driving forward sustainability solutions as a core part of the Workspace business model and are continually promoting awareness and initiatives to our occupier base of over 4000 customers to support us in reducing carbon emissions. Workspace is delighted to be amongst the group of leading property owners actively involved in the BBP, pooling knowledge to improve environmental performance and assist in achieving a tangible reduction in the carbon footprint of London’s property base." - David Whiter - Divisional Director – Building & Development
