Aver, the joint venture between NFU Mutual and Ergo Real Estate has reported three new lettings at Wilson’s Corner, 23 Wilson Street EC2, which has recently been extensively refurbished.
Aver purchased the 6 storey 13,000 sq ft office building in 2021 and after a complete stripout, refurbished each floor and basement level to a CAT A standard with a show suite fully fitted on the 4th floor and with the exciting addition of a roof terrace at the 7th floor.
The three companies taking space at Wilson’s Corner include; The Liberian Registery (LISCR) on the first floor, the innovative fleet insurance company Flock Cover on the second and pioneering software company, Fincore, on the third. Ergo is also occupying the fifth floor, which takes the total space let to 8,000 sq ft which represents 60% of the building. Compton and Knight Frank are letting agents for Wilson’s Corner acting on behalf of Aver.
Sustainability is at the heart of this £3 million office refresh improving on the building’s original EPC rating of G to EPC B. Sustainable materials have been chosen where appropriate within the building whilst a brand new, fully electric M+E system boosts the building’s environmental credentials.
Martin Jepson, Founding Partner, Ergo RE comments:
“Wilson’s Corner delivers top quality office accommodation, with an amenity offering that far exceeds what might be expected from a building of this size. Its success so far illustrates the demand for exemplary space in the right location, with elevated facilties and comfort. As a further endorsement we are delighted to be taking occupation of the fifth floor and making it Ergo’s new base in London.”
Wilsons Corner benefits from a new fully accessible rooftop terrace with panoramic City vistas where contemporary furniture allows for meeting areas and relaxation space to create an oasis of calm for all tenants to enjoy.
Wilsons Corner also has a new welcoming reception area, a new lift serving all floors and end of journey facilities for cyclists with a new bike store, changing area, lockers, drying cupboards and shower facilities.
Emily Woods, from Fincore commented on the move:
“Our move to Wilson’s Corner has been positive from the start thanks to the help and transparency of Ergo creating as smooth a transition as possible, from our old home to our new one at Wilson’s Corner. Working alongside the fit-out team referred to us from Ergo, the collaboration with them made creating the office we envisioned that much easier. Our staff now have a warm and collaborative office to work from which has led to us seeing an increase in attendance and office morale. Ergo have been a pleasure to work with so far and we look forward to growing our relationship with them over the years to come.”
Helen Ogilvie, from Flock also had this to say:
“We selected Wilson’s Corner as the next stage for Flock’s growth because of its prime location in the City, surrounded by excellent amenities and within walking distance of many of our insurance stakeholders. Additionally, we were impressed by the building’s high-quality specifications, fantastic roof terrace, and abundant natural light.”
