(Sharecast News) - Flexible workspace operator Workspace Group reported a 2.3% decline in like-for-like occupancy on Thursday, dropping to 80% in the second quarter, largely due to customer vacations at The Centro Buildings in Camden.

The FTSE 250-listed firm stated that it had completed 326 new lettings during the period, generating £7.3m in annual rental value, and said it had exchanged or completed £52.4m of non-core asset disposals, 1.6% below March 2025 book value, with a combined net initial yield of 3.5%.
