Growing confidence The reality A Salesforce office is mainly a place to meet, a place to collaborate so how we fit out the space is really important. About 80% of 90% is open plan space and we try to downsize the desks to really squeeze people in. We want to have that buzz and we want to have people talking to each other. Markus Huber, EMEA Real Estate, Salesforce 9

Destination London London leads the way for the Media Tech Berlin showing an increase in take up We have just taken a huge office in Berlin and it s one fifth of the price of London, so the gap is huge. The office in Berlin we found on the third day of our search, whereas it took me six months to find the office in London because there is so much more pressure in London on the real estate market. I would say the quality of the offices in Berlin is also a lot better. Maxim Romain, Manager, Wayfair 17

The word on the street It is an anachronistic legal structure to enter into a lease. It is not relevant in today s market for businesses that are agile and fluid. If I am a business I want to know that if I win a project then I can flex up for six months and take space, but I don t have to commit to something for five years to do a six month project. Charlie Green, co-ceo, The Office Group I think Whitechapel is probably the next area that is going to grow quite dramatically: it has relatively low rents and people like a bit of grit. Shoreditch is quite expensive but it has room to grow. I am told Peckham could be the new Shoreditch I am told Peckham is cool. Paul Williams, Director, Derwent London I still think people look at addresses and make assumptions. We want to have that professional service, high value kind of association. I think if we were a tech company in Croydon some people might make a judgement against that. Peter Byre & Stephanie Abadom, Concep 28
