GE has signed up to occupy the Ark!

The Ark is a landmark building with very original design situated right next to the Hammersmith flyover. It was designed by British architect Ralph Erskine and was completed in April 1992.

The building provides circa 14,000 sq m (151,000 sq ft) of offices around a stunning atrium. It has stood vacant for many years but has finally attracted a tenant for the majority of its space.

GE has signed up to occupy the Ark! The company will consolidate its employees based in its Berkeley Square, Berkeley Street and Agar Street offices into around 100,000 sq ft in the building, leaving 59,000 sq ft available for other prospective tenants. The top floor is occupied by Open TV.

Will Spiers, GE spokesperson, said: "Apart from the obvious advantages to our business, we will be able to make best use of the buildings excellent office facilities while benefiting from its impressive green credentials. It's a good move for us in many ways."

Ilaria del Beato, Managing Director, GE Capital Real Estate UK, said: "Clearly, to let this much of the Ark, is a win for GE Capital Real Estate. Beyond that, we're delighted GE is taking advantage of the Ark's superb office accommodation, facilities and location in addition to the benefits of consolidating GE's London businesses."
