Space House secures five more office lettings

Space House has made a strong start to the year, with 5,640 sq m (60,700 sq ft) of office lettings complete, and a further 415 sq m (4,460 sq ft) under offer, taking the offices to 45% leased or under offer.

HB Reavis were appointed by QuadReal, a global real estate investment, development and operating company, at the end of 2025 to deliver the leasing and asset management services for Space House. We have since accelerated leasing activity with five major lettings at Space House totalling 5,640 sq m (60,700 sq ft) across its Tower and Block buildings.

Located at the axis of Holborn and Covent Garden where technology, creative and legal sectors intersect with academia, Space House’s workplace offering is amplified by a focus on employee experience, rich in-house amenity and sustainable design. Space House’s latest wave of occupiers will join its existing business community: Blackline, Spectris and HiBob, now totalling 45% occupied across the Space House campus.

• John Laing, a leading international infrastructure investor, has committed to 750 sq m (8,093 sq ft) on the fifth floor of the Block.
• Wiggin, an award-winning law firm specialising in media, technology and intellectual property, has taken 960 sq m (10,339 sq ft) on the 12th floor of the Tower.
• Sapiens, a global technology company, has taken 960 sq m (10,333 sq ft) of space on the Tower’s 13th floor for a new HQ.
• QuadReal will relocate its UK offices to the ninth and part of the eighth Tower floors.
• Additionally, part of Tower’s fifth floor of 410 sq m (4,460 sq ft) is now under offer.

Space House is an award-winning one-acre campus comprising 24,800 sq m (267,000 sq ft) of workspace and retail. The Grade II Listed scheme has undergone extensive redevelopment, bringing together two distinct buildings. The Tower is Covent Garden’s tallest office building at 17 floors, and the Block is an eight-storey building connected to the Tower at its lower levels. At ground floor, retail activates the site for office occupiers and the local community, linking Kingsway with Covent Garden.

Space House’s location – where Covent Garden meets Holborn – continues to be a big part of its appeal for occupiers, positioned as a multi-disciplinary, progressive hub in central London. Space House’s ability to attract leading names across professional services including law, investment, technology and finance reflects its role as a sophisticated modern building that appeals to progressive, diverse occupiers seeking innovative quality and an environment for long-term growth.

The building also contains high-quality retail units with a combined floorspace of 2,230 sq m (24,000 sq ft), ensuring occupiers will have access to amenities within the one-acre island site.

Space House’s revitalisation has transformed the campus into a characterful net-zero carbon, BREEAM Outstanding workplace where occupiers can be part of its iconic next chapter.

“Recent leasing momentum demonstrates the appeal of Space House, which has been reimagined as a contemporary workplace for high-performing teams. We look forward to joining other new occupiers on this exceptional campus in the heart of central London.”

said Jay Kwan, Co-President, International Equity at QuadReal.

“Space House has huge potential for occupiers to mark their home. Since our appointment, we have been working hard to ensure that the benefits of the iconic Space House are clear to diverse businesses. These new transactions clearly demonstrate that Space House is an exceptional workplace and will be home to some of the capital’s most ambitious and progressive companies.”

said Louise Ioannou, Head of Workspace & Clients at HB Reavis UK.

“This relocation represents an important milestone for Wiggin. We wanted an inspiring space that would support our culture, encourage collaboration and deliver improvements in sustainability. Space House is an architecturally striking building which has an abundance of natural light and outstanding views. We’re excited to see the fit-out come to life in the coming months and we’re looking forward to the move to our new London home.”

said David Quli, Managing Parter at Wiggin.

“We’re a business built on care, creativity and transparency, with a genuine commitment to excellence – and Space House gives us the environment to reflect that. It’s flexible, it’s considered, it gives people a place to think and collaborate. Just as importantly, it’s our new Global HQ where our expert teams can be proud of and that helps us deliver complex infrastructure with confidence.”

said Claire Silver, Chief People Officer at John Laing.

HB Reavis has recently refreshed its office leasing agency team with Compton and CBRE onboard, alongside Bruce Gillingham Pollard on the retail space, to drive the remaining space to full occupancy.
