Landsec has let more than 12,000 sq ft of workspace to the global services marketplace Bark at 30 Eastbourne Terrace, W2.
Following expansion, Bark has signed leases for two floors. The company will start by occupying 3,309 sq ft of customised space on the ground floor, before also taking 8,746 sq ft of blank canvas space on the building’s third floor.
For its customised space on the ground floor, Landsec has delivered self-contained offices reflecting Bark’s brand and culture. The move comes as the company’s previous space in the area was undergoing redevelopment, leaving it in need of new turnkey space to accommodate its current staff and its future expansion plans.
This deal takes Eastbourne Terrace to full occupancy. A further 28,000 sq ft of offices have been let to various organisations since March, including Orca Computing, CloudKitchens, Denodo, Forescout Technologies and Technology One.
The building, which is located opposite Paddington station, offers direct access to the Elizabeth Line and the wider Eastbourne Terrace campus, made up of buildings at 10, 20 and 30 Eastbourne Terrace that have BREEAM Excellent and WELL-enabled credentials. It also offers occupants access to a communal rooftop garden and a café.
Oliver Knight, head of offices at Landsec, said: “Flexible ways of working are no doubt changing how businesses use offices, but as illustrated by this latest deal, quality and location remain key drivers.
“Both employers and employees are no longer satisfied by conventional office space that offers no reason to visit outside of work; instead, they want premium workplaces in proximity to top-tier retail and leisure that can support a fulfilling, healthy work-life balance.”
Advisors included JLL, Bluebook and CBRE.
