Technology focused serviced office provider i2 Office has hit 96% occupancy with its second London City business centre at 200
Aldersgate, announced at the end of August.
Space at i2 Office Aldersgate has been snapped up by a wide range of businesses, from PR firms to financial companies and telecoms specialists, keen to take advantage of the centre’s prime location and prestigious interior.
Mel Schembri, i2 Office General Manager, Sales for London, commented: “We welcomed our first client to Phase 1 of Aldersgate on September 5th and haven’t looked back. We have had a huge amount of interest in our offer, despite the difficult economic conditions. These first few months have proven highly successful and we are looking forward to adding further space to the centre to accommodate growing demand.”
Andrew Barber of Revolution Public Relations, the commercial property specialist, said: “As part of our relocation we looked at a number of properties within the Square Mile, none of which we felt were really suitable or offered the value for money that we were looking for. By chance we were introduced to i2 Office at 200 Aldersgate, and knew almost instantly that the location, cost and the management services would be perfect. Not only is it an impressive building but it also provides easy access to our clients in the City, the City fringes and the West End.”
Adam Griffiths of international steel trading firm Stemcor added: “200 Aldersgate offices provided us with a modern and welcoming office facility that we could utilise as a short-term solution whilst our head office was being refurbished. We were able to access the facility in a timely manner thus minimising any disruption to our project and productivity.”
i2 Office is currently in the process of building Phase 2 of its Aldersgate facility which will provide a further 61 new
workstations at the EC1 centre. Almost one third of these new workstations have already sold and a further third are
under offer.
Philip Grace, CEO of i2 Office, added: “Aldersgate is one of our flagship centres and embodies everything that the i2 Office brand is all about; premium office space in prime locations. The fact that the space has been taken up so quickly in the current economy reinforces our approach to providing quality space in the right location. Mel has done an amazing job of filling the centre and we look forward to securing more new clients as Phase 2 unfolds.”
i2 Office Aldersgate is located adjacent to the stunning lounge and café area at 200 Aldersgate EC1, a Grade A building which offers excellent links to the Underground network. St Pauls, Barbican, Farringdon and Moorgate stations are all within a 5 minute walk of the centre. In addition, the centre boasts a 40,000 sq ft gym operated by Virgin Active, including the largest pool in the City, and extensive bike store with changing rooms, lockers and showers, providing excellent facilities for businesses looking for a base in the City.
