New ‘state-of-the-art’ flexible workspace launches on Old Street, central London

Flexible workspace provider infinitSpace has entered into a management agreement with FTSE-listed real estate firm Helical plc to launch a new ‘state-of-the-art’ flexible workspace location in The Bower complex in Old Street, London.

InfinitSpace creates white-label, tech-enabled flexible workspaces. The company has been entrusted with managing the new workspace by the landlord Helical plc, a property investment and development company, following the departure of WeWork.

The Bower is a mixed-use commercial development created by award-winning architects AHMM, housing premium office, retail and restaurant space. Spanning a total of 20,000 square feet, beyond The Bower workspace is spread across two floors of the development’s ‘The Tower’ building.

It is located at 207 Old Street on the ‘Silicon Roundabout’, an area home to many of the city’s most innovative tech businesses, in the “vibrant and culturally rich” neighbourhood of Shoreditch. It also boasts “excellent” transport links, as the complex is situated less than a minute’s walk from Old Street station.

Co-founded by Wybo Wijnbergen (CEO), and his brother, serial tech entrepreneur Wilco Wijnbergen (CTO), infinitSpace has launched the flexible workspace in London under the ‘beyond’ brand as ‘beyond The Bower’.

With a capacity of 400 desks, beyond The Bower offers coworking and private office memberships, all with flexible terms and suitable for a range of needs, from individuals up to large teams.

Members can benefit from numerous services and facilities including bookable private meeting rooms, event spaces, ultra-fast WiFi, IT support, premium quality coffee, phone booths, a comprehensive events programme, and an on-site community team.

infinitSpace has also equipped the space with ‘cutting-edge’ technology, including beyond’s workspace app, which connects beyond The Bower members with others across beyond’s global network. Under the management agreement, infinitSpace is responsible for marketing the space, managing new memberships and overseeing the ongoing operation of the site.

Since its first opened in March 2022, the workspace provider has now launched a total of seven flexible workspaces globally. beyond The Bower is infinitSpace’s third ‘beyond’ location in London, following beyond Aldgate Tower and beyond Kingsbourne House, and its fifth across Europe.

Wybo Wijnbergen, CEO and Co-founder of infinitSpace, commented: “beyond now manages over 100,000 square feet of flexible workspace in London alone, and we are confident that beyond The Bower will be another great success.”
