New Wizu coworking space ready to welcome York tenants

Helmsley Group has confirmed Wizu’s coworking space at East Coast House is now complete and set to welcome businesses from September 1st.

Located at 25 Skeldergate and boasting 24,500 sq ft, East Coast House is one of York’s premier office buildings, offering views over the River Ouse in a popular central location.

The York workspace features light-filled private offices for teams ranging from two to over 100 employees. It also offers modern coworking spaces, high-tech meeting rooms with video conferencing, and virtual office packages for businesses of all sizes.

In line with Wizu’s ethos of building vibrant coworking communities, teams will also benefit from regular networking events, wellness initiatives, and a culture that makes East Coast House more than just an office, but a true destination workspace.

With Helmsley Group recently reporting increasing demand for city centre offices, the launch of this flexible workspace, and others like it across the city, demonstrates an exciting shift for York’s business community.

Ed Harrowsmith, investments director at Helmsley Group, commented: “Wizu’s York launch has come at a really exciting moment. As businesses look to get back into the hub of the city, returning to the office and adopting hybrid working models, we’ve seen a real boost in demand for commercial space and Wizu’s flexibility and scalability is perfectly placed to meet this demand.

“East Coast House is a highly sought after location and will have a front row seat to the new Coney Street Riverside development which we’re confident will further boost this area’s appeal and be a valuable addition to York’s vibrant community.”

The regeneration of neighbouring Coney Street will bring extensive public realm and 250,000 sq ft of mixed-use retail, leisure, commercial and residential space to the heart of York with work expected to begin on its first phase, St Martins Yard, later this year.

Tom Almas, CEO of Wizu Workspace added: “Having received countless requests over the years from members and businesses in search of the Wizu experience in York, we now cannot wait to welcome them to East Coast House. Built for businesses that want the best of both worlds, East Coast House offers corporate-level infrastructure with the warmth and flexibility of a boutique workspace, not to mention a charming location.”
