Real estate developer celebrates growth with new London HQ

Real estate developer CO—RE is moving to new London headquarters following a period of rapid growth.

Currently located in Cornhill, the developer plans to move to a new 2,500 sq ft office at 8 Frederick’s Place in the centre of the city later this year.

The Georgian property forms part of a cluster of character buildings undergoing a £12m refurbishment by The Mercers’ Company.

The move follows the securing of a number of significant project wins by the firm, including 20 Ropemaker, River Court and 247 Tottenham Court Road, with the company planning to expand operations further from its new base.

David Ainsworth, chief executive of CO—RE, commented: “8 Frederick’s Place perfectly captures the CO—RE ethos; creating world class commercial buildings that are well-located in central London and have cutting-edge design.

“We are excited about moving in and continuing to grow our business and deliver on our fantastic roster of projects.”

Simon Taylor, property director at The Mercers’ Company, added: “The signing of such a recognised property development business as CO—RE as the first occupier is a great endorsement of the vision for Frederick’s Place.

“The team has done a great job combining first-class modern office space with a great sense of character.”
