Located on Hilton Street in the sought after Northern Quarter area of Manchester city centre, Fourways is a converted grade II listed brick building constructed in 1906 with very good in-use BREEAM rating. The property now provides characterful office accommodation over ground and five upper floors totalling 59,000 sq ft following completion of a substantial refurbishment of the atrium and communal space.
Stephen Wormald, associate partner at XLB, comments: “The Northern Quarter continues to attract a wide range of occupiers who seek character space and surroundings with easy access to key transports links. These lettings prove the highly reversionary nature of this building which showcases best in class energy efficiency and character.”
Daniel Barnes, director in the office agency team at Savills, comments: “The new leases at Fourways show the high demand and desirability of this office building in a wide range of sectors set in the heart of the Northern Quarter. Fourways provides attractive, character workspace in an excellent desirable location and this is reflected in the good levels of interest for space that becomes available in this area.”
