Great Portland Estates (GPE) has let the 17,000 sq ft+ second floor of the wells&more office building in London’s West End to Heineken UK.
The company has signed a 10-year lease on the recently refurbished space and is due to move in early next year on a ready-to-fit basis.
Heineken UK is relocating from GPE’s Elsley House office scheme in Fitzrovia. The move will enable GPE to create five fully managed units and amenity space in the space vacated by Heineken.
Rob Russell-Smith, senior portfolio manager at GPE, said: “We are delighted to welcome Heineken UK to wells&more. This latest letting is evidence of how our strong customer relationships, combined with a flexible, well-located portfolio, allow us to work together with our customers to meet their requirements as they evolve. Furthermore, this move will enable us to actively unlock space in Elsley House, enhancing our fully managed offer in Fitzrovia, where we are tapping into strong demand for such high-quality, flexible spaces.”
Boudewijn Haarsma, managing director of Heineken UK, added: “As the UK’s largest pub, cider and beer company, it’s really important that we have an exceptional office space in central London, that reflects the personality of our business and our collaborative ways of working. With facilities including ‘smart’ meeting rooms, flexible working spaces, showers for colleagues who cycle or run to work, and of course Heineken UK wouldn’t be complete without a bar to showcase our fantastic brand portfolio, the new space at wells&more, fits all the criteria.”
