Scaling a business comes with enough challenges—securing a workspace shouldn’t be one of them.
No fit-outs, no long leases, and no setup delays. Just fully fitted labs, offices, and living spaces in prime locations, designed to help you work smarter, grow faster, and focus on your next milestone.
Urban network supporting growth
The platform consists of 23 properties in key innovation geographies. These assets are being re-invented in response to ground level requirements and critical supply shortages.
The physical environment acts as the creative nexus that provides connections between industry, academia and government. Our objective is to develop a network of distinctive spaces designed in collaboration with customers and stakeholders.
The completed developments will include urban lab, incubator, workspace, mid-tech, storage, event space and supporting amenities including short and long stay residences.
We currently have space in Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester.
The service we offer goes beyond the real estate.
We are entrepreneurs that utilise our own partnerships to drive customer productivity.

Centrally located and fitted
