Canary Wharf Group is launching a flexible workspace, called MadeFor.
Designed and built by CWG’s in-house team, MadeFor provides high-quality, fitted, furnished and dressed workspace that is ready for immediate occupation or which can alternatively be delivered “to order”.
MadeFor will also offer businesses a fully managed solution, including cleaning, Wi-Fi and IT services, full maintenance and “handyman” services, and refreshments.
CWG said it had launched the service to meet the changing needs and requirements of its customers – from high-growth businesses that are looking for their own private workspace to larger organisations seeking flexible space for expansion, projects or medium-term use.
Each MadeFor space will be tailored to the customer’s needs and with an individual style, delivered with sustainability at the heart of every decision, while always offering a modern and inspiring place to work.
Citi is MadeFor’s first customer and has taken 95,000 sq ft at Forty Bank Street, while Citi Tower, its UK and EMEA headquarters, at 25 Canada Square, is being refurbished.
MadeFor will be available across CWG’s portfolio, including One Canada Square, Forty Bank Street, 20 Water Street and the Columbus Building.
CWG chief executive Shobi Khan said: “We now offer our customers any type of solution to meet their needs – from taking a few desks in our L39 community to managed services via the MadeFor platform to a bespoke sustainable build-to-suit. CWG can deliver a sustainable solution to meet the exact needs of the customer – and we can do it with benefit of decades of in-house experience.”
James Bardrick, Citi country officer for the UK, added: “Following our recent announcement about transforming Citi Tower to create a flexible, innovative, carbon-efficient, world-class workplace that is fit for the future, we will be moving a number of our teams to CWG’s Forty Bank Street building.
“This high-quality, sustainable, serviced workspace, just across the street from our current building, will provide our colleagues with a fantastic base to collaborate and work together.”
