GE to regroup in The Ark

GE Capital Real Estate has confirmed that it will be taking 100,000 sq ft at The Ark in Hammersmith.  GE will consolidate into the 167,000 sq ft Ralph Erskine - designed building from offices across London.

Following the decision by Open TV to sign a Lease in July last year, GE will be the second tenant to move into this iconic building.

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.  The local Hammersmith economy also stands to benefit from an influx of approximately 550 GE employees.

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