Techspace is expanding its London portfolio with a new workspace at D/ALS on Chiswell Street, near Moorgate. Scheduled to open in February 2027, the location will give growing technology businesses another office option in the City.
The operator has signed a 15-year lease for 25,725 sq ft within the refurbished building. The workspace is designed to accommodate up to 21 scaling technology companies and approximately 400 people.
What Will the New Workspace Include?
Alongside office space, Techspace’s Chiswell Street location will offer facilities for everyday working, team meetings and larger gatherings. Announced amenities include:
- 15 meeting rooms and phone booths.
- An event space accommodating up to 160 people seated or 200 standing.
- A gym and wellness studio.
- A roof terrace.
- A members’ lounge and ground-floor café.
The event venue will be Techspace’s largest to date. The café and lounge will also serve other occupiers within D/ALS, extending the facilities beyond Techspace’s own office customers.
For businesses comparing offices, this combination brings several requirements into one location: space for focused work, rooms for client meetings and facilities for company events.
Early Interest Ahead of Opening
According to the announcement, more than 40% of the Chiswell Street space had already been committed ahead of its February 2027 opening.
That figure reflects interest in this particular location, rather than availability across the wider City market. However, businesses considering the building should check which office sizes remain available and whether these suit their intended move-in date.
For a growing team, it is also worth discussing how future headcount changes could be accommodated before choosing an office.
Part of Techspace’s Wider Expansion
Chiswell Street will become Techspace’s ninth location across London and Berlin. The operator has outlined plans to double its portfolio over the next three years, with central London a priority.
Techspace has also extended its lease at 130 Clifton Street by a further ten years. Together, the agreements demonstrate the operator’s continued investment in its London portfolio.
The 15-year commitment at D/ALS is Techspace’s lease with the building owner. Businesses considering offices within the workspace should enquire separately about the occupier agreements and contract lengths available.
What Should Businesses Compare?
For technology companies planning a 2027 relocation, the new opening adds another option to a City office search. Whether it is the right choice will depend on the practical details of the offer.
Before making a decision, consider:
- Total monthly cost: Confirm what is included and which services carry additional charges.
- Meeting room access: Check booking allowances, room sizes and any usage fees.
- Office layout: Assess desk capacity alongside space for calls, collaboration and quiet work.
- Contract terms: Review the commitment period, notice requirements and options for expansion.
- Move-in timing: Confirm when the chosen office will be ready for occupation.
- Shared facilities: Ask how access to the gym, terrace and event spaces will work.
An attractive amenities list is a useful starting point, but the day-to-day arrangements should match how your team actually works.
