Southern Housing, advised by SHW, have taken space on the fourth floor of Stephenson House in East Croydon for its new Croydon base.
Following fit out of the new office space, Southern Housing – one of the largest housing providers in the UK - will move from its existing premises at Grosvenor House, to occupy a total of 13,187 sq ft within Stephenson House, which forms part of Feldberg Capital’s award-winning Mosaic East scheme. The building has undergone comprehensive refurbishment and repositioning to provide highly sustainable space a short walk from East Croydon Station.
Thomas Tarn, Associate at SHW, says: “With Southern Housing’s existing premises no longer meeting their requirements, SHW were instructed to identify new offices in the area, close to East Croydon Station, that provided suitable space for their team, with accessibility and sustainability in mind.
“Following an extensive review of available spaces in the Croydon market, Mosaic East was shortlisted, upon which terms were negotiated to take the fourth floor front wing and fourth floor annex of Stephenson House, and SHW’s Building Consultancy team carried out a pre-acquisition survey.”
Mosaic East benefits from pre-installed state-of-the-art connectivity and digital infrastructure, providing Grade A office space with a new reception, refurbished WCs and common areas and secure on-site parking, with biodiversity-led landscaping. The refurbishments have also provided 12 showers with 176 lockers and 37 cycle spaces inside the building, encouraging sustainable travel to work.
Adam Blacklee of Southern Housing, says: “This new base for our team provides well located and professional office space for the organisation, with wellbeing and sustainability in mind. We are delighted with the service provided by SHW who worked with us very closely to identify and fulfil our space requirements.”
Jon Cochrane, Director, Asset Management & Sustainability, at Feldberg Capital, said: “Our goal for Mosaic East has always been to create a sustainable, wellbeing-led home for businesses in Croydon, and the building continues to play a major role in the reinvention of the area. This letting to Southern Housing reflects the success of our strategy: just a minute’s walk from East Croydon Station, Mosaic East is now one of south London’s most energy-efficient workspaces, making working in a sustainable way an easy choice for businesses.”
Mosaic East is owned by Feldberg Capital’s Akoya London neighbourhood workplace venture and is asset managed by Feldberg Capital. Hanover Green and Savills are joint letting agents.
