Frasers Property has agreed a deal with workspace provider Koba to occupy 24,548 sq ft at The Rowe in Whitechapel, London.
Koba will occupy the fifth and sixth floors of the 165,000 sq ft scheme and offer premium private office suites for individuals and teams of up to 200.
The space, which is Koba’s first in London, will also feature plug-and-play meeting rooms, co-working areas, breakout spaces and private terraces.
Paul Nellist, managing director of Koba, said: “It was important for us to choose the right building and a mission-aligned partner for our first London location – we have that with The Rowe and Frasers Property UK. Koba has been built from the ground up and centred around three key pillars – health, wellbeing and sustainability – which makes us the perfect match.
“After launching the world’s first WELL-certified flexible workspace in Manchester, we are delighted to bring our premium, sustainability-focused offering to The Rowe. I’ve got no doubt that our product, coupled with the rich amenities the building has on offer, including private terraces, rooftop garden and a ground floor café, will elevate The Rowe as the go-to location for flex in this part of the city. We look forward to partnering with Frasers Property UK and launching the space in Q3.”
James Smith, commercial director at Frasers Property UK, added: “We’re excited to be welcoming Koba to The Rowe. The quality of Koba’s product and service offerings and its commitment to sustainability align closely with Frasers Property and the premium workspaces at The Rowe. At Frasers Property, sustainability is a big part of what we do, shaping how we design and deliver workspaces for the future. We’re pleased Koba shares this ethos and has chosen The Rowe as its first London location.”
