Andy Issott shows off the Artesian Building by BE Offices that is opening in April.

Jonathan Weinbrenn shares that BE Offices are partnering with a pension fund to launch a multi-layer flex offering in the heart of the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), at 5 George’s Dock, Dublin D1.

The offering will include meeting, event space, serviced space and managed space alongside "conventional" leased space.

BE Offices have announced their partnership with Derwent London, the UK’s largest London office-focused real estate investment trust (REIT), to take the part ground and 1st floors in the building.

BE Offices and almost a dozen of it’s subsidiaries filed for administration (a formal insolvency process designed to rescue businesses in financial trouble) in London. The firm, who managed a mix of leased, managed and wholly owned sites, had issued a warning last year that it was struggling to recover from the impact of pandemic lockdowns.

ICYMI: The firm had received a £5M loan from HSBC, sold off their owned properties in ’22 and ’23 to repay loans, and then got an additional long-term £3.5M loan from their shareholders. The firm will continue to operate ‘business as usual’ as the restructuring process continues.
