Our guides to flexible office and workspace providers in Bristol
Many landlords that would traditionally provide leasehold or leased office spaces to rent in Bristol are now also offering non-leased workspace options.
Tenants looking to sublet some of their excess office space can often provide short-term office space rental options.
We provide access to these flexible office leasing options, too.
When looking for office space to rent in Bristol, it is important to be aware of all available options.
There are many benefits to traditionally renting office space, as it provides security of tenure and a high level of autonomy over the space rented.
The events of 2020 taught many companies, though, that it is also often essential to look at other ways of securing business accommodation.
One of the disadvantages of leasing office space in Bristol is that a tenant is tied into a lease agreement for a fixed amount of time – either until the lease expires or until the next available break option can be exercised.
This can be onerous. Another disadvantage may be that a tenant may find that they are renting excess office space – this is particularly true when a company is experimenting with new flexible working models to include hybrid working and other strategies.
A tenant may be able to assign their lease or sublet some of their excess business space. However, the process can be somewhat inconvenient and restrictive.
There are now many new office space products on the market that remove these pressures – flexible workspace as a category includes private serviced offices, managed offices, coworking spaces and other versions.
They can be described as flex spaces for lease although these spaces are not leased but held by way of a licence. Because they are held in this way, they are both easier to enter into and exit, relative to a lease.
These arrangements, in many cases, also allow an occupier to decrease the size of the workspace that they occupy, which is particularly useful in adverse business conditions or when moving towards hybrid working and other models.
The advantage of these flexible workspaces is that an occupier can also increase the size of the space they occupy when they wish.
These workplaces are managed by an office provider or operator which makes them all-inclusive and helps remove administrative and managerial pressures for the occupier.
Bristol has always been a popular office space location for many reasons, not least its easy access to both the Welsh and English capitals – making it an excellent satellite office location.
For this reason, there is a wide range of workspace options in the city and surrounding areas.
Whilst flex space workspace in Bristol grows in popularity, the traditional office space market remains strong and active, presenting a wide array of options.
For instance, in December 2024, it was announced that Kinrise and Mactaggart Family & Partners (MF&P) had acquired Canons House in the Canon’s Marsh area of Bristol city centre.
Described as one of the most recognisable buildings in the city, it is made up of a circular office building around a landscaped courtyard, and the sizeable crescent office building overlooks Lloyds Amphitheatre.
The team planned on refurbishing the iconic Grade II listed 200,000 square foot office building in 2025 to create Bristol’s largest and most sustainable Grade A office building complete with restaurants and event spaces for cultural and community programming.
With a plethora of options, it can be challenging to gain sight of all available options within the marketplace.
