LONDON: Battersea Power Station has made available 40,000 sq ft of office space in the centre of the iconic building, in addition to the 500,000 sq ft already pre-let last September.

Before Battersea Power Station was decommissioned, the space was the engine room and played a key part in the running of the power station, according to a press release issued by Sime Darby Property on Wednesday.

Designed by WilkinsonEyre, the space will be set over two floors overlooking the light filled central atrium and will accommodate an extra 500 or so workers. Workers will be sharing the space in the building with a wide variety of retailers, restaurants as well as residents.
 
“This is a great chance for a single business, co-working provider or business members club to occupy the remaining office space in the Power Station. This is also a unique opportunity to become part of our new community based in an iconic building, which provides an unrivalled address," said Andrew Hilston, head of office leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company.
 
There is at least a further 750,000 sq ft of office space to come across the wider Battersea Power Station development.
