SHOREDITCH
Workspace Group PLC ('Workspace') is pleased to announce that it
has exchanged contracts to acquire Stapleton House, also known as
'The Old Dairy', in Shoreditch, for a total of GBP43.38m.
The property provides 57,000 sq. ft. of net lettable space

in 2017 following a major refurbishment project.
The Old Dairy is currently 80% let and is being acquired at a

The acquisition is being funded from existing facilities.
Graham Clemett, Chief Executive Officer of Workspace,
commented:
"The acquisition of The Old Dairy further strengthens our
presence and broadens our offering in Shoreditch, one of the most
popular areas for our customers. We see tremendous opportunity to
generate long-term value by repositioning the property over time to
our distinctive flexible model. I am confident that, together with
The Frames, The Old Dairy will be a hub for Shoreditch's dynamic
SME scene for years to come."
