Battersea Power Station adds 40,000 sq ft of office space

LONDON (Aug 23): The Battersea Power Station project in London is set to receive an additional 40,000 sq ft of office space.

This adds to the existing 500,000 sq ft of office space at the Grade II* listed Power Station, which were pre-let last September, Sime Darby Property announced in a statement today. Sime Darby Property is part of a Malaysian consortium developing the iconic Battersea Power Station project in central London.

Before the power station was decommissioned, the added office space was the engine room and consequently played a key part in the running of the power station.

The space designed by WilkinsonEyre will see two floors overlooking the light-filled central atrium. It can accommodate more than 500 people. Workers will be sharing the space in the building with a wide variety of retailers and restaurants as well as the residents.

According to Andrew Hilston, head of office leasing at the Battersea Power Station Development Co, this will be a great opportunity for a single business, co-working provider or business members club to occupy the remaining office space in the power station.

“This is also a unique opportunity to become part of our new community based in an iconic building, which provides an unrivalled address,” said Hilston.

Across the wider 42-acre Battersea Power Station development, there is at least a further 750,000 sq ft of office space yet to be developed.
