The project located in the heart of Islington on a busy red route comprised of a Cat A and B fit out of 3 commercial units on the GF of a residential block. An interconnected space consisting of offices and meeting rooms, flexible working area, a kitchenette and studio was envisioned by the client.

Steered by the client's brand, vision and business plan a collaborative approach was taken to deliver a fast-track programme in line with the client’s business strategy and targeted timelines.

Our involvement

We were appointed to manage all aspects of the project from pre-construction, through to Practical Completion.

The EEDN team were dedicated, diligent professional and highly supportive through our project for coworking and events space. I highly commend the whole team for their ability to manage strategically and tactically simultaneously, from contract negotiation and macro-financial modelling to value engineering at the nuts-and-bolts level. They have a strong and multidisciplinary approach which weaves seamlessly across these two levels of abstraction - we would relish the opportunity to do business with EEDN again.
