The Boutique Workplace Company is opening a new flexible office site at Holborn Town Hall, in Holborn, London.
The company, which opened six new locations last year, intends to open the doors at the iconic building in March. Holborn Town Hall originally opened as a library in 1894 and boasts attractive period features. Over the years it has been used as a court room, a chamber of commerce and a restaurant, before being sold to clients of fund management business Habro in 2021. The Boutique Workplace Company has signed a hybrid lease agreement for 10 years.
Daniel Wheble, chief executive officer of The Boutique Workplace Company, said: “We are always searching for characterful good workspaces in the right location and Holborn is perfect for providing our tenants with an exclusive, curated space amongst the bright lights of the city. It is an exciting time within the flexible workspace industry and our latest signing shows that whilst we are still in our infancy, we are growing with customer demand.
“By next March, we are on track to increase our workstations by 77% and our square footage by 74% from pre-pandemic levels. As energy bills increase, working from home on a permanent basis is looking less attractive this winter, but workers still want that hybrid model that is a sustainable way to maintain their work/life balance.”
Nick Kertesz, director – head of asset management at Habro Properties, added: “In the current market long-term flexible lease agreements continue to be in demand, and we are delighted to be working with Boutique Workplace Company as they dominate the flex workspace industry. Holborn Town Hall is one of the most magnificent buildings in Midtown and a first-class destination for a company’s community to flourish.”
