The expansion of Co-Space’s flexible office space in Stevenage Town Centre has been completed.

Originally launched in 2021, the council converted underutilised commercial space into flexible offices designed to support a wide range of businesses, from solo start-ups to established financial services providers.

Managed by Co-Space, the facility has already contributed over 300 jobs to the town centre, proving a valuable asset to the local economy.

Building on this success, Co-Space has now expanded into the neighbouring Town Square Chambers, overlooking Event Island. The extension, funded through the government’s Towns Fund and secured by The Stevenage Development Board, adds an additional 900sqm of office space to the town centre—equivalent to 150 new desks. This expansion not only fosters new business growth but also boosts footfall and spending in the area.


The refurbishment of the Town Square Chambers has given a new lease of life to an ageing building, bringing it up to modern standards with a 24-hour operator. The expansion of flexible office spaces in the heart of Stevenage is seen as a key step in revitalising the town centre and supporting long-term economic development.

Cllr Lloyd Briscoe, Cabinet Member for Economy, Skills and Transport, commented: "Stevenage Town Centre is undergoing a transformation, introducing a greater mix of uses to benefit both residents and businesses. This includes increasing commercial space, including flexible options to allow businesses to flourish within the town. We are delighted that Co-Space, offering desks and meeting spaces in a smart and spacious interior, have chosen to expand their premises here. This delivers local benefits such as an increase in spend within the town. As Stevenage continues to evolve, we welcome this expansion and thank all of our partners who have helped to deliver this."
