Zoopla Property Group has launched a new office requirement following its £190m purchase of price comparison website uSwitch in April.
The group is understood to have instructed tenant representation specialist DeVono to search for up to 50,000 sq ft of central London office space to bring the two brands under the same roof.
Both firms are currently based on the South Bank, with uSwitch based at 36 Southwark Bridge Road, SE1, and Zoopla operating out of the Harlequin Building at 65 Southwark Street, SE1.
The requirement is the latest in a string of tech-based moves, with Twitter and Asos launching requirements totalling more than 350,000 sq ft recently.
This month Facebook also entered exclusive talks to take 217,000 sq ft of space at Great Portland Estate’s 1 Rathbone Place in Fitzrovia, W1.
Zoopla also owns PrimeLocation. It bought uSwitch to complement the Zoopla property platform with uSwitch’s energy and broadband comparison functions.
Zoopla launched in 2008.
