The Co-op has sublet 11,927 sq ft of office space on the twelfth floor of One Angel Square in Manchester to trade union UNISON.
As part of the Co-op’s strategy to optimise its hybrid workspace, office spaces ranging from 6,717 sq ft to 62,033 sq ft are available to let at One Angel Square, which is used by the company as its support centre and HQ.
Heather Thomas, group property and sustainability director at the Co-op, said: “As ways of working evolve, we’re continuing to use our workspace more efficiently while remaining proudly based in Manchester. Welcoming UNISON to One Angel Square is a positive step in how we’re planning for the building’s future. We’re open to further tenants and committed to ensuring this fantastic building continues to be a collaborative and thriving place to work.”
Lynne Morris, North West regional secretary at UNISON, added: “We’re delighted to be moving into One Angel Square. It’s a modern, flexible office environment that supports our region’s new ways of working. To be moving into a building that’s home to the Co-op, an organisation that shares the union’s values of fairness and social responsibility, is extremely fitting. The office is in a great location and we’re pleased to be joining a vibrant working community.”
Rupert Barron, director at Avison Young, which acted for the Co-op on the letting, said: “We were very pleased to support Co-op in securing a sublease for an 11,927 sq ft space on the twelfth floor of One Angel Square, a deal that reflects its strengths as a prime office destination. The building offers exceptional sustainability credentials, high quality amenities and flexible workspace, and this agreement further reinforces One Angel Square’s position as one of the city’s most desirable office locations.”
