Span Group Ltd

Today, our 60 Shorts Gardens - Arclight building featured in an article on the rise of fitted office space in The Telegraph. We have space still available: contact RX London or Bluebook (London) for enquiries.

Thank you to Nick Cole at NatWest for our invite to Drummonds for a business lunch last week. It presented a good chance to meet the wider team and network with likeminded individuals in the industry. It was also great speaking to Gareth Taylor FCA of Aprirose Real Estate Investment about all things Finance and Property. Lastly, what an experience to eat in the Charring Cross dining room, overlooking Trafalgar Square.

We are delighted to announce the letting of our retail unit at 14-16 Betterton Street, WC2H 9BU for a term of 10 years to HAYATO UK LIMITED, an award-winning authentic Japanese salon. This will be their fourth site globally, with Betterton Street replacing their flagship store in the UK, where world-class hairdressing and finest head spa experience come together. This no doubt will elevate the building’s appeal, function and profitability. Shout out to our JV Partner, Pearl & Coutts Ltd (Part of Structadene Group), namely Richard Doffman for securing and negotiating the letting and our trusted legal advisor, Mark Hurst from Hamlins LLP in preparing the lease. 

Last week, the Span Group Ltd team along with our honoured young guest Casey Okin of Forest Real Estate had the pleasure of attending Microscope Ball 2025, in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. It was an entertainment filled night, complete with emotional tributes and questionable comedy! All in the name of coming together for a good cause. Over £500k was raised on the night, a testament to the amazing work of the Muscular Dystrophy UK team. Looking forward to next year !

It was a pleasure to run into our JV partner and friend, David Goldstein at the Property Breakfast this morning featuring Jacob Loftus of General Projects. Some of the key takeaways I learnt were the following: Always lean into pressure, pressure is a privilege. The biggest growth often comes from challenging situations which forces you outside of your comfort zone. Lean twice as hard into uncomfortable situations vs comfortable ones. Change comes from thinking differently and being able to communicate one’s vision effectively to people. Buildings are a product that should be designed according to the end user. Consumer experience is a priority. When reflecting on which buildings have contributed the most to the identity of our cities, it is often the older ones that leave more of an impact as opposed to new builds which feel out of place (sometimes) with the rest of their surroundings. History is important. Context is important. Both contribute to the identity and branding of a Building and helps distinguish it from its counterparts. Don’t be overly emotional in business. Sometimes, the best thing to do is trade the asset and exit so you can focus on other projects. We’ve all seen what can happen in a ten-year period and how the market can change. Always consider the long-term ramifications. Dean Walik

Our Best Development? ….The Team! They say location is everything… but for us, it’s the people who pull together that give Span Group its value. And if that teamwork happens to be measured in pints per square foot on a sunny Primrose Hill afternoon, all the better. #TeamSpan #PrimroseHill #PeopleFirst #AssetManagement Span Group Ltd #primrosehillworks https://lnkd.in/eAtR5qrz
