Flexible workspace provider Cubo has secured its first site in London.
The company, which currently operates 12 UK sites, has taken the entire 18,819 sq ft second floor of Soho Estates’ Ilona Rose House scheme on the site of the former Foyles Bookshop on Charing Cross Road.
The 300,000 sq ft scheme, which is Soho Estates’ largest mixed-use development to date, was completed in May 2021 and offers 150,000 sq ft of office space.
Marc Brough, CEO of Cubo, said: “During the time we have been expanding our UK locations, we have continually been pressed to clarify when we will be opening one of our award-winning sites in London. We have been waiting for the perfect building in the perfect location, and we are 100% satisfied and excited to have identified Ilona Rose House, just off Soho Square. This is a superb building with brilliant amenities that existing and new members will view as very much the best in class.
“A huge thank you to Phil Thompson and his amazing team at Soho Estates who have worked hard and fast and in a very collaborative way with our team to deliver a quick transaction during the month of August.”
Philip Thompson, director of Soho Estates, added: “We are delighted to welcome Cubo to Ilona Rose House and hope this deal is the start of a long and fruitful partnership between landlord and tenant as we continue to strive to provide the highest-quality space for creative businesses across all sectors in our part of Soho.”
Cubo was advised by Rigby & Co and Gerald Eve represented Soho Estates.
