Heineken UK Signs New London Office Lease
11 December 2024
 

Heineken has committed to a ten-year lease at an office in Fitzrovia.

Great Portland Estates has let the second-floor office at wells&more to the drinks manufacturer as they relocate from Elsley House in W1. 

Heineken will take 17,000 sq ft of space in the wells&more building, located at the junction of Wells & Mortimer Street. The company’s Edinburgh site is currently the largest UK office, hosting 600 employees.

Rob Russell-Smith, GPE Senior Portfolio Manager commented: "We are delighted to welcome Heineken UK to wells&more. This latest letting is evidence of how our strong customer relationships, combined with a flexible, well-located portfolio, allow us to work together with our customers to meet their requirements as they evolve. Furthermore, this move will enable us to actively unlock space in Elsley House, enhancing our Fully Managed offer in Fitzrovia, where we are tapping into strong demand for such high-quality, flexible spaces."

Boudewijn Haarsma, Managing Director of Heineken UK says: "As the UK's largest pub, cider and beer company, it's really important that we have an exceptional office space in central London, that reflects the personality of our business and our collaborative ways of working. With facilities including 'smart' meeting rooms, flexible working spaces, showers for colleagues who cycle or run to work, and of course HEINEKEN UK wouldn't be complete without a bar to showcase our fantastic brand portfolio, the new space at wells&more, fits all the criteria."

Heineken will move in early next year on a Ready to Fit basis.
