Tech City continues to nurture start-up companies

Posted on July 15, 2013 by Shoreabout

Despite the economic doom and gloom, Tech City has continued to buck the trend and provide the perfect environment for fledgling companies to flourish.

More than 15,000 technology companies have established themselves in Shoreditch in the last 12 months – all capitalising on the consolidation of expertise in EC1, combined with relatively cheap rental costs and networking opportunities. The district is already producing success stories, and with another consecutive year of record-breaking growth estimated for 2013, it would seem Tech City has an immensely bright future.

Tech City offers more than just a hub of technological know-how. A community of young start-ups has developed, with a number of shared working spaces providing the opportunity for entrepreneurs to share ideas, advice and stories of their Shoreditch experiences. ‘Central Working’, the open seating area at Campus, is one of a number of new, pioneering forums for the exchange of knowledge and tips on taking the next step.

Having gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2008, Tech City has seen the emergence of new and innovative ways for small start-ups to get a foothold in one of the world’s most exciting technology destinations. ‘Silicon Roundabout’ offers something for everyone – whether it be a one-man band looking for low cost shared workspace and networking opportunities, or an emerging technology player seeking to be situated at the heart of East London’s technological revolution.

In recent months, Shoreditch Office Space has helped a variety of start-ups find work space in Tech City.

Shoreditch Office Space – On the Streets looking and searching

Tech City Office Space too expensive for Start Ups?

Aside

So this week the report from TechCity Insider from Gfk has been the subject of a few headlines focused on office space becoming too expensive in Shoreditch for many emerging start ups. Tech City Investment Organisation has been dragged across the coals for too much chat and not enough action, but as Ben Southworld rightly points out, this has been spun, and doesn’t tell the whole story. In fact the report is not focused on Tech City Offices but more about an underlying lack of talented staff.

Trendy Shoreditch Office Sace - easy to overpay at the moment but can we blame no10?

Trendy Shoreditch Office Space – easy to overpay at the moment but can we blame no10?

It is a true that rents have gone up in recent months in Shoreditch, and in some cases they are nearly double what they were 2 years ago. Shoreditch Office Space only represent tenants looking to secure offices or studio space in the East London area, and of course Silicon Roundabout is a key factor in the people we help. We still find value in the Market and help our clients from over paying. Certain buildings like The Tea Building or Zetland House are actually not full of Tech Companies as some people would expect, but they are bang on trend for what people want, and that is what we’ve seen driving pricing as much as anything i.e. people are overpaying for what looks cool and trendy.

We come across a mismatch almost daily in supply and demand. People who want offices, but can’t afford the ones they want, but it doesn’t mean they can’t have an office. If you are prepared to be unfashionable, Shoreditch is still cheap.

The most interesting thing we’ve read this week is actually not the Gfk report but actually the Guardian newspaper reporting on a piece of analysis carried out on the Tech City map. An alarming statistic that under 150 companies make up a list of about 1350 companies looking to be lauded as a Tech Start up, or at the very least part of the Tech Scene. No doubt worrying for TCIO, but for Shoreditch a healthy mix of Tech and Creative based industries strikes a good balance.

Joanna Shields says that “Tech City has become a thriving hub of tech-based enterprise and creativity,” “We have a vibrant community here, full of exciting emerging businesses that are growing alongside some of the world’s most respected tech companies.”

So if you are looking for good value office space in Tech City or Shoreditch please get in touch, as we’d love ot help you find your perfect office space.

Shoreditch Office Space are 100% independent and work with every building and space in the area. That’s our story.

Tech City Office Space – 3,600 sq ft Self Contained Building

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Shoreabout

Looking for Tech City Office Space? This building could be the answer if you are looking for a converted warehouse style Shoreditch office space with exposed brickwork, wooden floors and a good floor to ceiling height.

This building won’t be for everyone as it’s offered as an entire self contained building with the accommodation split over several floors. Typically each floor is around 600 sq ft and in total the office space provides 3,600 sq ft.

This is a sort after Tech City Office Space in a converted Warehouse. Only problem is the high rent. Great if you can afford it.

Finding office space in Tech City which is well located and also not too corporate feeling is not easy and this building ticks most of the boxes. But at a price £38.50 per sq ft….!

Shoreditch Office Space were at the Flat White Economy Debate this week, and once again were interested to hear peoples strong view on how Real Estate and the shortage of options for start ups is having a negative effect on the growth of TechCity.

Shoreditch Office Space help a lot of start ups and companies within the community and are finding it harder and harder to secure office space deals for less than the £20.00 per sq ft. It’s a problem which we are trying hard to address, by always seeking out value deals, but things are changing given that Over £50.00 per sq ft has been paid in Clerkenwell in the last few weeks.

Remember it’s very easy to overpay for office space at the moment so if you are a start up, don’t be afraid to focus on your business rather than the look of your office. We are in the process of helping London’s most successful Tech company this year probably and their choice of office will ensure they continue an upwards trend. Be part of Tech City but make sure you stay part of Tech City by not being ripped off.

Tech City – The Global League Table – Britain Promoted

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Shoreabout

Its official, the United Kingdom has now been deemed a top ten destination for tech on the planet. The team at Shoreditch Office Space was delighted to see our meteoric rise up the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s global rankings to seventh, on their prestigious league table of technology development. To put this in perspective the UK now ranks ahead of the US and we believe that this success story emanates from the rise of London’s Tech City, its strategic stewardship by Joanna Shields, and the colossus investment in London’s infrastructure to build a scalable tech cluster that will lead our economy for the next half century. As property experts we have had front row tickets to what has become the hottest show of talent, entrepreneurialism, and innovation in the world. Because of this the Shoreditch office market is enjoying record levels of demand, with shared office solutions and 750-1500 sqft office units proving to be the most popular. The supply chain for these smaller units is picking up fast and this is a necessity for East London in the short term. With the medium to long term picture looking bright for both commercial and residential developments in the area, the battleground for tenants will shift from one of availability in 2013/14, to one of affordability in 2015/16. With the UK’s tech scene now turning heads around the world, it is vital that we do not get complacent about our standing in this new global era for tech. Despite our progress we are still lagging behind nations such as first-placed Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands, all of which are seeing their successful education policies and initiatives that they have implemented over the last decade now coming to fruition as their graduates lead the way in the European job market. Joanna Shields and her team of A players should be proud of their achievements at the end of her first quarter at the helm. And I am sure we are speaking for all of the tenants in Tech City when we say that we are really excited to see what she does next, as they launch their new office, and implement their plans for growth and investment over the next 12 months.
