Huckletree enters new era of
managed offices with 40 Leadenhall 

Huckletree - the future-focussed flex operator - has officially announced a landmark management agreement with global real estate giant M&G Real Estate, securing 50,000 sq ft of premium workspace at 40 Leadenhall - one of London’s most anticipated new commercial towers.

Building on the momentum of its 35,000 sq ft launch at 8 Bishopsgate in November, the deal sees the brand stepping into a pivotal chapter - cementing its place as a serious player in landlord-partnered workspace and joining forces with premium real estate owners to deliver next-gen work environments in some of the city's most iconic buildings.

Slated to open in August 2025, this milestone marks a strategic shift for Huckletree as the brand moves beyond its roots in open flex floor plates into the realm of managed, self-contained floors. Tailored for teams looking to graduate from the signature startup phase, the new model delivers greater autonomy and focus - without sacrificing the culture, creativity and connection that has always defined the Huckletree experience.

The site will span several floors of the building, featuring boutique private offices for 20, all the way up to full suites for 200 - each coming with access to elevated communal zones. Alongside Huckletree’s classic offering of meeting rooms, breakout areas, phone booths and a central dining space, members will also get to enjoy the building’s wider amenities. Think: a fully-kitted out fitness studio, wellness suite, 30-person cinema, plus three on-site restaurants and five independent retailers for a lunchtime wander.

Affectionately dubbed the “Gotham City” building, 40 Leadenhall is nearing full occupancy and stands as one of the City’s most premium and sustainable office developments, targeting both BREEAM Excellent and a 5-star NABERS rating. Now, with Huckletree’s curated community and design-led workspace in the mix, the building becomes an even bigger magnet for ambitious businesses looking to plant their flag in London’s financial core.

“Collaborating with M&G at 40 Leadenhall is a defining moment for Huckletree,” says Gabriela Hersham, CEO and Founder of Huckletree. “[This collaboration] allows us to bring our unique approach to workspace innovation into one of the most exciting new schemes in London, in close alignment with one of the industry’s most forward-thinking real estate investors. We look forward to working with M&G as we continue to scale through management agreements in world-class buildings.”

Martin Towns, Deputy Global Head of M&G Real Estate, adds: “The addition of Huckletree’s flexible workspace and curated Member community enhances the building’s appeal to innovative businesses seeking a home in the City. As 40 Leadenhall nears full occupancy, the collaboration with Huckletree enriches the array of facilities and services at 40 Leadenhall and solidifies its status as one of London’s premier office destinations.”

Advised by the team at Avison Young, Huckletree’s move into 40 Leadenhall is a firm statement of intent - a sign of where the flex sector is heading as it matures, and how operators and landlords are increasingly joining forces to meet the changing expectations of global businesses. As the lines between office, community, and hospitality continue to blur, Huckletree’s arrival at 40 Leadenhall is poised to set a new bar for flexible workspace in the City.
