Commenting on the project, Ben Hutchen, Real Estate Director at Orega, said: "As new working practices evolve in the City, with hybrid working becoming the norm, many corporate occupiers do not need the volume of space they needed previously. By offering our joint venture Management Agreement, Orega can provide an alternative solution to corporates with excess space, allowing them to retain their brand whilst giving them the flexibility to take back space should they need it down the line. We are seeing an increasing number of large occupiers considering this route."
Commenting on the impact of the scheme, Lynsey O'Keefe COO of Orega added: "We see great opportunities for flex space in the City of London, and we now have six flexible workspace centres in London as a whole. We believe we are successfully catering for the demand from businesses who are increasingly looking for a flexible way to occupy property; a trend which we believe will continue to be in demand with the current economic uncertainty and reluctance of businesses to be tied into long leases, whilst requiring high quality 'state of the art' property. We are excited about the space we are creating at Mark Lane and believe it will launch well."
