Hale House, Portland Place, London W1

Spacemade, the UK’s fastest-growing flexible workspace operator, in partnership with The Howard de Walden Estate, is proud to announce the launch of Hale House, the UK’s flagship HealthTech space at Portland Place, Marylebone.

Open in April 2025, this innovative workspace is set to become the UK’s most collaborative ecosystem for HealthTech and innovation stakeholders, fostering the next generation of advancements in healthcare and wellbeing.

Hale House will occupy several buildings within the Harley Street Health District,, a globally renowned centre for excellence in healthcare, managed by The Howard de Walden Estate. Harley Street Health District encompasses a wide network of specialist hospitals, modern outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centres, and state-of-the-art healthcare facilities. Hale House perfectly aligns with the district’s mission to become the world’s leading destination for whole health and innovation, creating the most connected health community globally.

At the heart of the Hale House ecosystem, 76-78 Portland Place will serve as the flagship location for HealthTech startups, investors, and venture capital firms, while ancillary services such as legal, data compliance, and recruitment firms will be based across two additional townhouses at 42 and 19 Portland Place, further supporting the dynamic needs of this growing sector. Together, these spaces will create a unique collaborative environment designed to foster innovation, attract investment, and enable transformative developments in healthcare.

“This launch represents a new chapter for HealthTech in the UK,” said Jonny Rosenblatt, Co-Founder of Spacemade. “Hale House will serve as the epicentre of HealthTech innovation in the UK; a place where the brightest minds in HealthTech can come together to collaborate, innovate, and drive the future of healthcare forward. By uniting startups, investors, and essential professional services in one space, we’re building a community that is poised to transform the future of healthcare.”
