ORU SPACE, SUTTON
Oru Space, a forward thinking start-up is setting out to transform the landscape of Sutton High Street with a new destination for coworking, wellbeing and hospitality.
On Monday 14th November 2022, the first phase of the project launches, with Oru Intro, Sutton’s first taste of creative coworking with 50 Hot Desks, 10 Fixed Desks and Standing Desks, as well as a lounge, meeting room and refreshments – offering 25% off for founding members.
With a bustling site on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich already under their belt, they have been working with Sutton council in renovating the upper floors of the old BHS building on Sutton high street, which has lain dormant for over 7 years. The finished project building will boast a 500 desk co-working space, with 40 private offices, a 170-seat café-restaurant, nursery and yoga studios with extended wellness offerings. The rooftop area offering panoramic views of Sutton and London will be transformed into a community-led garden and greenery designed to support wildlife.
The name ‘Oru’ is derived from Tamil meaning ‘For One’, and the company’s values are a true reflection of this with the community at the heart of the space. Purpose-driven and people-centred, Oru’s social initiatives will be supporting local primary schools, businesses, charities, and non-profit organisation in the area.
