Theatre Deli has sixteen years of experience working in partnership with commercial property owners. Its work across 15 venues to date has allowed landlords to make crucial savings while waiting on consent or funding for development, or for the right buyer to come along, while providing support for performance artists and a resource for local communities who might otherwise view empty buildings as a blight.

Over the years the properties we have rejuvenated have included everything from a former Woolworths store in Sheffield to the iconic BBC Radio London Studios in Marylebone. If you have a vacant commercial property, or one that you are considering for redevelopment then there may considerable benefits in partnering with us.

We spend a lot of time speaking to arts organisations about the benefits and challenges we’ve encountered when taking over empty and meanwhile-use spaces.

We have now created a White Paper which presents the other side of that work, demonstrating the place-making and cost-saving benefits to landlords in partnering with flexible and energetic arts organisations.

Key Benefits: 

• A sustainable lease in uncertain times 
• Mitigation of empty rates 
• Savings on other void costs 
• Placemaking & community 
• Maintenance & security

Theatre Deli is an extremely energetic & proactive organisation. Their presence on Marylebone High St has certainly brought something quite unique to the area. We would be very happy to work with them in the future
