Landsec becomes latest major property firm to offer coworking space

Landsec has launched its new flexible office brand, Myo, which it claims will provide customised office space for businesses looking for flexibility to enable future growth from April of this year. Coworking in other words. The move is the latest example of a major commercial property firm entering the market for flexible offices and coworking space in the wake of its recent boom. Myo will operate as a standalone brand, offers flexible leases ranging from 12 months to three years for businesses that need space for between 15 and 80 people.

Landsec claims that the new offering will fill an underserved part of the flexible office market. Businesses will be able to customise their office space to reflect their own brand, culture and ways of working, claims the firm with Myo customers selecting their office design from three fit-out styles, each designed to maximise productivity, collaboration and wellbeing.

Businesses will have access to an onsite front of house team to assist with day-to-day office requirements and IT support. Myo will also offer a concierge service, discounted gym memberships and invitations to social, business and lifestyle events.

Colette O’Shea, Managing Director, London at Landsec said: “After speaking to a wide range of businesses, we know that, from the small companies outgrowing their start-up space to the more established businesses looking to expand from their HQ, flexibility, convenience and a home to call their own is essential for them to achieve their goals.

“We also know how important brand identity is in today’s business landscape. Myo’s adaptable office designs will enable our customers to put their brands front and centre and help them stand out in their own crowded markets. With the addition of Myo to our already diverse portfolio, we can now provide premium space and best-in-class service to our customers at every stage of their growth journey, and we look forward to supporting more businesses for the long-term.”

Myo will be headed up by Oliver Knight, Flexible Office Director at Landsec, and its first location will be 36,000 sq ft at 123 Victoria Street, SW1 (pictured).
