A Design-Driven Approach to Commercial Property Investing with Niki and Jerry Alexander

Niki Fuchs, Managing Director of OSiT, discusses the evolution of the serviced office industry in the UK and her family’s involvement in this since 1979. Also, how this remains an industry with people at the heart of it and how the service provided to clients is a key differentiator.

She also talks about OSiT’s decision to own their buildings, something which sets us apart from many of our competitors. In doing so we ensure that we as the landlord and our tenants are aligned, which has clear commercial benefits and clearly positively impact our clients.

Niki talks about OSiT’s unique and playful approach to the design of our office portfolio and the different themes adopted – from the ‘Happiness’ building at Blackfriars, to the nautical theme at Embankment office overlooking the Thames.

Our approach to providing all necessary services in-house to maximize income and enhance the client experience, from setting up an in-house cleaning company to creating service enhanced buildings, featuring doctors’ surgeries, nail bars, cafes and accommodation, to cater to the changing needs of the workforce and what they want from their workplaces.  She provides insights into the serviced office industry, business strategies, and tips for success.

The audience can expect to learn about the challenges and opportunities in the Flex space industry, the importance of company culture and the benefits of actually owning the buildings to increase business value.
