The successful launch of a building on Grosvenor Street provides a clear indication of the continued demand for high-quality, fully managed workspace in London.
The Grade II listed building has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide more than 10,700 sq. ft of flexible workspace across six floors, complemented by a private landscaped garden in the heart of Mayfair.
More than 70% of the building was pre-let ahead of completion, with the remaining space now under offer. It is an impressive milestone that demonstrates what modern occupiers are looking for: well-designed, flexible workspace that is ready to support their business from the moment they move in.
However, delivering a truly fully managed workspace requires more than an exceptional physical environment. Reliable, secure and professionally managed digital infrastructure is now fundamental to the occupier experience.
Connectivity is part of the workspace
Businesses moving into a fully managed building expect their internet connectivity to be live, reliable and capable of supporting their operations immediately.
Delays arranging a new connection, uncertainty surrounding responsibility for the network or poor Wi-Fi coverage can quickly undermine an otherwise premium workspace.
Fuse Telecom manages the complete digital infrastructure of single and multi-tenanted commercial buildings, giving landlords, managing agents and occupiers one experienced partner for the building’s connectivity.
Rather than every tenant independently ordering and managing a separate service, we can install a high-capacity leased line into the building and securely segment the connection. Each occupier benefits from their own private and secure internet service, with clear visibility and control over their individual connection.
This creates a smoother move-in experience for tenants while providing the flexibility to upgrade bandwidth as their requirements change.
Tenant connectivity must be competitively priced
A fully managed service should make connectivity simpler and better value for tenants – not lock them into outdated leased line pricing.
We regularly encounter buildings where occupiers are being quoted legacy connectivity costs that no longer reflect today’s market. If a tenant can independently bring a new dedicated leased line into the building for less than the price of using the building’s existing managed connection, there is a problem with the commercial model.
This can create unnecessary friction during lettings, weaken the appeal of a managed workspace and encourage tenants to install separate services. The result is often multiple suppliers, duplicated infrastructure and a building network that becomes increasingly difficult to manage.
Fuse Telecom regularly reviews supplier pricing to ensure that tenants receive a secure, dedicated connection at a fair and commercially competitive rate. By installing a high-capacity leased line and securely segmenting the service, each tenant benefits from their own private connection without paying inflated legacy costs.
Landlords and managing agents can still provide the convenience and support of a fully managed service, while occupiers receive transparent pricing that represents genuine value.
When tenants can access reliable connectivity quickly, securely and at a competitive price, the building’s digital infrastructure becomes a genuine selling point – not a barrier to occupation.
Managing the complete building network
Our service extends beyond supplying an internet connection. We can design, install and manage the building’s entire wired and wireless network, including:
- High-capacity leased line connectivity
- Secure, dedicated tenant networks
- Managed wired and wireless connections
- Business and guest Wi-Fi
- Network monitoring and ongoing technical support
- Connectivity for communal and flexible workspace
- Building management systems
- CCTV, access control and other connected building technology
- Resilient and backup connectivity
Different services can be securely separated across the building, ensuring that tenants, guests and operational systems do not share the same network.
This allows landlords and managing agents to provide a consistent, professional service while maintaining security across every part of the building.
Supporting building management systems
Modern commercial buildings depend on connected technology to operate effectively. Heating, ventilation, access control, CCTV, energy monitoring, lifts and other building management systems may all require reliable connectivity.
Fuse Telecom can provide and manage the infrastructure supporting these systems, helping property teams maintain visibility and avoid relying on a collection of disconnected services from multiple suppliers.
By managing both tenant connectivity and operational networks, we provide a clearer understanding of how the building is connected and who is responsible for each element.
Identifying unnecessary legacy costs
Commercial buildings often retain telephone lines and legacy services long after their original purpose has disappeared.
These may previously have supported alarm systems, lift lines, fax machines, payment terminals or building management equipment. In some cases, the equipment has already been removed or upgraded, but the associated line continues to appear on the monthly bill.
Fuse Telecom can review the legacy services within a building and provide practical consultancy advice on what should be retained, upgraded or ceased.
Where a service is still required, we can recommend an appropriate modern replacement. Where it is no longer being used, we can help remove the unnecessary cost.
One managed service provider for the building
Fully managed workspace should feel straightforward for both the occupier and the property team.
With Fuse Telecom acting as the building’s managed service provider, landlords and managing agents have one point of contact for connectivity, Wi-Fi, tenant networks, building systems and legacy service reviews.
We take responsibility for the infrastructure behind the workspace, helping to deliver:
- Faster and simpler tenant onboarding
- Secure connectivity for every occupier
- Greater visibility across the building network
- Consistent wired and wireless coverage
- Reduced reliance on multiple suppliers
- Proactive support and ongoing management
- Opportunities to remove unnecessary costs
The success of developments such as the premise on Grosvenor Street shows that demand for exceptional, fully managed workspace remains strong. As the market continues to grow, the buildings that stand out will be those that combine outstanding design with digital infrastructure that is equally well considered.
Fuse Telecom helps landlords, managing agents and workspace operators deliver connected buildings that are ready for occupiers from day one.
