A central Manchester location with first-class fibre connectivity.
Make the most of Manchester We ve invested over 2m to redevelop the 21-storey Manchester One to create a highly sophisticated city centre working environment with a sought-after M1 postcode. Formerly known as Portland Tower and located on the corner of Portland Street and Sackville Street, the redevelopment of Manchester One has been substantial. Both inside and out, the building has been refurbished to compliment today s business needs in terms of flexibility, usability and digital connectivity. Manchester One houses a total of 131,000 sq ft of high quality office accommodation, available from 300 sq ft to 24,000 sq ft, on short and long-term leases. With a new identity, a new name, a new reception, redesigned communal spaces and completely refurbished office spaces, Manchester One delivers an impressive experience for customers and visitors alike. But one thing remains constant and that s Manchester One s city centre location, amenities and proximity to the city s main rail and tram interchanges. Across our portfolio of 110 buildings we re working closely with Metronet (UK), a pioneering North West Internet Service Provider to deliver super-connected office space. This means our customers at Manchester One can expect connection speeds of 1Mb per second to 1Gb per second as standard and even up to 10Gb per second in some instances, with easy set-up, instant scalability and a 99.95% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for network uptime. All this comes with the added benefit of meeting rooms for hire and a dedicated on-site customer service team to manage the smooth operation of the building. Add to that secure cycle racks, on-site shower facilities and ample car parking options and Manchester One presents an ideal opportunity for your business to grow in Manchester s professional heartland. 131,000 300 24,000 2 mins TOTAL SQ FT OF OFFICE SPACE SQ FT RANGE OF OFFICE SPACE AVAILABLE WALK TO PICCADILLY GARDENS METROLINK

Blank canvas work space To help you make the space distinctively your own, we openly encourage a collaborative approach to the design of your office. We want you to view the work space not as something to be taken off-the-shelf but more as a blank canvas for you to turn your ideas of the perfect office into a reality. And we can help every step of the way with design consultancy, space planning, fit-out and relocation. The idea is to create a space that reflects you and your brand whilst challenging your perception of what an office looks like. Maybe you do your best work in the kitchen and want to make that the hub of your meeting space? How about a pool table in your boardroom or rowing machines to replace fax machines? A putting green perhaps or hot-desking at breakfast bars with Sky News on tap? A gym, somewhere to practice yoga or an office fitted out like a library the possibilities are endless. Square One, Manchester Live out your brand an example of a creative fit-out at Melbourne Hosting, Manchester Technopark Bruntwood helped us to locate the right building in the right location and worked with us every step of the way on our blank canvas office.
