Spacemade, one of the UK’s fastest-growing flexible workspace operators, in partnership with The Howard de Walden Estate, proudly announces the official opening of Hale House, London’s newest and most advanced HealthTech hub, located in Portland Place, Marylebone.

Purpose-built to support the next generation of HealthTech pioneers, Hale House reflects a broader industry shift towards sector-focused workspaces, where startups, investors, and support services collaborate in one ecosystem to accelerate advancements.

Harley Street Health District, already home to world-leading healthcare institutions, specialist hospitals, and research centres, is rapidly evolving into a hub for HealthTech innovation, bridging cutting-edge technology with traditional healthcare expertise. Hale House is the latest expression of this transformation, providing a physical home for the growing HealthTech community within this globally renowned district.

The Growth of Industry-Specific Hubs in the UK

The demand for industry-focused workspaces is increasing, with businesses seeking environments that offer more than just office space, spaces that facilitate collaboration, drive investment, and embed companies within their industry’s most influential networks.

“The future of innovation isn’t happening in isolation – it’s happening in industry-specific hubs where the right people, ideas, and infrastructure come together,” said Jonny Rosenblatt, Co-founder of Spacemade. “HealthTech is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the UK, and placing Hale House in the heart of Harley Street Health District means we’re connecting entrepreneurs directly with a world-leading medical ecosystem.”

“The way we work is changing, and industry-specific hubs are emerging as the most effective environments for fostering real progress” continues Rosenblatt. “Hale House is an example of this shift in action – bringing together startups, investors, and support services to create a space where collaboration happens naturally, and innovation is accelerated. This is the future of how industries will evolve.”

Hale House joins a growing number of sector-driven workspaces, following the success of similar clusters such as Level39 (FinTech), BioCity (BioTech & Pharma), and Sustainable Ventures (CleanTech & ClimateTech), which have proven that proximity to industry peers, investors, and specialised services accelerates growth and innovation.
