Leading flex office provider Cubo is to roll out its brand nationally, and has acquired a new 16,000 sq. ft workspace on Princes Street in Edinburgh. 

Cubo has leased premises at 40 Princes Street, one of the city’s most Grade A office buildings.

The new Cubo will feature 16,000 square feet of office accommodation arranged over two floors, with 325 desks available. Features include a new reception with Lark feature desks and walls, scenic glass lifts and on-site showers.

It will have open views of the Edinburgh skyline towards Edinburgh Castle and is convenient to Waverley Station.

The new Edinburgh location will officially open its doors in June 2023. There has already been interest from a number of businesses looking for a base in one of the city’s most high-profile buildings, once occupied by Aberdeen Asset Management as it then was.

Earlier this year, Cubo, which was launched by property investors Marc and Rebecca Brough, set out plans to open four new workspaces by the end of Q2 2023. It recently announced a second site in Nottingham. Cubo Edinburgh will be its seventh site, with Manchester and a second Birmingham site are to be announced shortly.

Cubo is transforming the traditional serviced office model.  It provides an experience-led lifestyle offer to meet the changing needs of businesses – from hot desking to a designated desk, private office, or entire floor. 

Member benefits include large communal spaces, private areas, break-out spaces, kitchens, an inclusive barista service with beer and prosecco on tap, along with a programme of free networking events.

As a result, Cubo is rapidly becoming the location of choice for SMEs, tech companies and corporates looking for a world class environment where they can develop and thrive and is attracting an enticing mix of businesses.

Marc Brough, CEO at Cubo, said: “We are so excited to have secured what we think is Edinburgh’s most amazing office location.

“It was tricky sharpening our search in a city with little Grade A supply, but the setting, location and quality of 40 Princes Street blew us away when we first saw it.

“The new space continues our rapid expansion and reinforces our commitment to opening in the very best locations across all the UK’s core cities.”
