W.RE

The office market is changing, and we are proud to be leading the change with adaptive, forward-thinking strategies, partnering with exceptional flexible office operators. These partnerships are not a trend – they represent the future of the office market.   Each decision is guided by one principle: the right product in the right location. Just as a luxury hotel thrives in Mayfair but feels out of place in Hackney, office spaces must align with the unique demands of their environments. Take our Typewriter building in Borough, for example. Work.Life's vision helped us celebrate the building's history as a hub for office machinery and transform it into a cool, modern workspace designed for today’s office users who prioritise sustainability. The result? The space is now 100% let and buzzing with energy! Meanwhile, our collaboration with x+why will revive the Arding & Hobbs building’s original role as a gathering place for Clapham Junction. With many of its beautiful heritage features restored, it’s set to become a destination of choice for workers and residents in South London.

Over the past five years, #Mayfair has seen a staggering 70% increase in enquiries for flex office space, solidifying its position as the top location on Free Office Finder’s most in-demand list. In response to this market shift, W.RE has partnered with Landmark to meet the growing need, bringing a signature stylish and flexible workspace to the historic Grade II-listed offices at 75 Grosvenor Street.   75 Grosvenor Street was recently refurbished by W.RE, bringing the space into modern use while celebrating the 300-year-old #heritage of the building. Landmark's space will include meeting rooms, break out spaces, and traditional office floorplates, all within 75 Grosvenor Street's elegant blend of modern, high-end finishes and charming traditional features.   Sascha Lewin, CEO of W.RE, said: "Bringing Landmark on board at 75 Grosvenor Street represents the next chapter in the building’s storied 300-year history. Once at the heart of the silk trade, these historic buildings retain elements that honour their past, from the silk-inspired glass in the atrium to bespoke decorative motifs.   With its deep appreciation for both heritage and modern, high-quality amenities, Landmark truly understands the unique offering of this space. This prime London location deserves the finest workspace, and we’re excited to be working with Landmark to bring it to life."   Landmark is set to open in Q1 2025.

Progress update on Peterborough Road! Legendre UK is making steady progress ✅ on the 46,000 sq ft office development at Parsons Green, built on behalf of W.RE. The team has recently installed temporary façade retention steelwork, enabling us to proceed safely with demolition. So far, approximately 50% of the existing structure has been removed, marking a key stage in the project. Additionally, sheet piling is now underway, allowing the relocation of the electrical substation—an essential step towards full demolition. Designed by TateHindle architects, this office building will feature six floors of flexible workspace, including accessible roof terraces, with a strong focus on sustainability ♻️ and an energy-efficient design ⚡ featuring air source heat pumps and PV panels. More than a construction project, this development aligns with our co-investment strategy, strengthening the partnership between the London office and W.RE to deliver top-tier office solutions 💼 to Southwest London. Completion is scheduled for late 2026 ⏳ – stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project! #Construction #Sustainability ♻️ #ParsonsGreen #London

The area around King’s Cross is one of London’s real estate success stories, as the fastest growing #office submarket in the capital and only the second fastest in the entire country, with completions up 23% in the last five years. With a rapid increase in office space in concentrated area comes myriad benefits – a growing culture of #innovation and #collaboration, exemplified by the strength of the Knowledge Quarter, and supporting other industries like #retail and #leisure. But with more offices also comes increased competition for space, as multiple best-in-class workspaces come onto the market. Our St Pancras Campus development feeds into and benefits from the thriving working culture of the Knowledge Quarter and King’s Cross. But as a mixed-use development, it offers so much more than offices alone. Designed by award-winning architects Caruso St John Architects Llp, the scheme is a blend of #offices, #homes, and a unique cultural offer wrapped into an architectural marvel. By diversifying the offer of the development, each part of St Pancras Campus supports and improves the others, making the tenant experience better across the board.
