How did Canvas Holborn start?

"The building was acquired by the Hagag-Gaya Holdings in 2021, and we partnered with Israeli real estate giant, Eido Hagag, to deliver the ‘88 Kingsway’ you see today.

The history of the building and the ability to refurbish the ornate Victorian building which retains many of its original external features, was what excited us to deliver the project."

What makes Canvas Holborn stand out in the workspace market?

"The building is well balanced with a complimentary blend of characterful features and modern finishings.

Canvas have delivered what's becoming a signature "homeification" feel to the building, where people can be productive but also relax and be the best versions of themselves.

Its location is striking being above Holborn station, which is pretty unique.

There's also the element of personalisation and the collaboration with our clients to deliver spaces that are truly theirs.

Each client feels like the building is theirs, it's not just a case of being in a Canvas building, if that makes sense.

We also have a dedicated onsite team who are personal and are always going above on beyond.

The building itself is also DDA compliant and BREEAM Certified."

"We provide many amenities!

These include, event space, relaxing break out areas, bike storage, showers, bean to cup coffee, a podcast room, 16 communal phonebooths, dedicated reception, lifts, 5 communal meeting rooms, 1 boardroom and lots of alternative work space.

The building is also dog-friendly, so we often see lots of wet noses and wagging tails.

Our meeting rooms are free to use which is a real positive for our clients.

As well as the amenities, we provide a Canvas Offices app, which is used to access the building and book meeting rooms, as well as being full of benefits and information."
