Here East HereEast is London’s home for making. It is a dedicated place where small, entrepreneurial businesses looking to scale, co-exist with established companies seeking to become more entrepreneurial. HereEast is located at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the former Press and Broadcast Centres. It provides over one million square feet of dedicated and versatile spaces for creative and digital companies. It combines unparalleled infrastructure with a unique environment to facilitate collaboration and the exchange of ideas, including shared workspaces, public areas, a landscaped canal side and artisanal cafes, shops and restaurants.

Here East will create over 7,500 jobs, including 5,300 directly on-site and a further 2,200 in the local community. It is over 40% pre-let, including key tenants BT Sport, who already broadcast live from Here East; Loughborough University, who will create a multi-disciplinary postgraduate teaching, research and enterprise facility; Hackney Community College, who will deliver the UK’s first digital apprenticeship; and Infinity SDC, who will deliver one of the largest and most efficient data centres in Europe. HereEast is being developed by iCITY, a joint venture between Delancey, a specialist real estate investment and advisory company, and Infinity SDC, the UK’s leading data centre operator.
