17/08/2023

As well as the contemporary cat A office space, meeting rooms and breakout areas, the six-year lease includes access and use of the building’s amazing roof terrace that can accommodate events for up to 70 people.

Located in the heart of the city, the building is just a 10-minute walk from Cambridge train station with immediate access to excellent amenities including cafés, bars, restaurants, hotels, leisure facilities (gym, swimming, yoga) and the famous open green space of Parker’s Piece.

Howard Group comprehensively refurbished the Portland stone former Lloyds Bank building in 2019 from tired 1970’s accommodation into modern office spaces filled with natural light. Mantle Space joins UK early-stage technology venture fund IQ Capital in the building.

Nicholas Bewes, CEO, Howard Group said: “We are delighted to welcome Mantle Space to 95 Regent Street. The iconic building, at the gateway to the city centre, is a superb fit alongside Mantle’s existing portfolio of flexible workspace locations in Cambridge, all of which have made a very positive impact across the city.

“Like Howard Group, Mantle Space is also a family-owned business and as such we have many shared characteristics and common values. We are really looking forward to working with them as they further expand their flexible office space offering in the heart of Cambridge, bringing fresh energy and vibrance to this landmark building.”

The property is Mantle Space's third flexible working space in Cambridge and will house more than 400 desks for some of the fastest-growing businesses in the Cambridge ecosystem.

Guy Baker, CEO, Mantle Space, added: "Our focus is on flexible workspaces in central locations with contemporary interiors, striking design and high-quality finishes – and all the equipment and resources a business needs," said. "So, if you need more space, we can grow with you, and if you need space in another location, either for a day or something more permanent, we can accommodate that too."

Mantle Space organises regular networking events at each of its locations, with speakers from a wide range of businesses. The centres also host various indoor and outdoor events throughout the year – from business exhibitions and seminars to charity fundraisers.
