Client Overview

FKS Capital approached Flex-Re Spaces while reassessing their workspace strategy. Having outgrown their existing flexible office, they were seeking a more private, professional and client-facing environment to support their next phase of growth. Location was a key driver, with a focus on Fitzrovia or Mayfair, areas that aligned with their brand positioning and offered strong connectivity for both their team and clients.

 

The Brief

The client required a workspace that would:

  • Provide a private, self-contained environment
  • Enhance their client-facing presence
  • Be located in Fitzrovia or Mayfair
  • Offer high-quality fit-out and functionality
  • Be secured within a short timeframe

Whilst considering an upsize within their existing managed operator’s portfolio, they engaged Flex Re-Spaces  to provide a broader market view and lead the search process.

 

The Search

Following a detailed consultation to understand operational requirements, headcount and working style, our team curated a targeted shortlist of five high-quality options across Fitzrovia and Mayfair.

This included a mix of:

  • Conventional CAT A space
  • Fully fitted plug-and-play solutions

 

The Solution

During the viewing stage, one option immediately stood out:

1st Floor, 9–10 Market Place; a fully fitted managed office operated by Metspace.The space aligned perfectly with the client’s requirements, offering:

  • A private,  self-contained floor
  • High-quality fit-out with strong design credentials
  • A professional,  client-facing environment
  • The flexibility and convenience of a managed solution
  • A  prime Fitzrovia location

 

The Outcome

Following their viewing, FKS Capital moved quickly, submitting an offer shortly after.  Over the course of the following week, Oliver Becker, our Senior Associate, who was leading on the deal:

  • Navigated negotiations
  • Clarified key commercial terms
  • Ensured  alignment between all parties

Despite strong competition in the West End market, Oliver successfully secured the space below the asking monthly price, delivering both value and speed.  The transaction was completed and signed within two weeks of the initial viewing, enabling a seamless transition into the new workspace.

“Oliver was extremely helpful in securing a new office space for our company.  He was professional, communicative and friendly at every step of the way.  Flex-Re Spaces were able to offer some interesting options, I would thoroughly recommend this service.”
