Catella APAM has let 3,191 sq ft to Harrison Drury & Co at the Corner Block office building in Manchester.
The law firm has agreed a five-year lease on the fifth floor space with Catella APAM, which is the asset manager of the building on behalf of Britannia Invest.
The landlord recently completed the fit-out of additional suites on the first floor of the Corner Block measuring 5,000 sq ft and 3,300 sq ft.
The move-in-ready workspaces, which are available at a quoting rent of £35/sq ft, feature a mix of open-plan areas, private offices, boardrooms and collaboration zones.
Adam Handley, asset manager at Catella APAM, said: “The demand for high-quality, fully fitted office space in Manchester remains strong, and Corner Block is well-positioned to meet the needs of businesses looking for ready-to-occupy, flexible workspaces. Alongside this letting to Harrison Drury & Co, our recent investment in new fully fitted suites further strengthens Corner Block’s appeal, offering more options for companies seeking premium office space in the city centre.”
Daniel Barnes, office agency director at Savills Manchester, which acted for Catella APAM on the letting, added: “We have seen fitted space become more popular across the UK office market and in Manchester it has established itself as a solid solution for occupiers across the board – saving time, reducing risk and removing some of the upfront capital expenditure. The fitted space at Corner Block offers a high-quality option for occupiers looking for highly specified, flexible and immediate office space in the city centre.”
Savills and Sixteen Real Estate acted for Catella APAM and Tenant Advisory Group represented Harrison Drury & Co.
