Manchester is the largest, and perhaps the most globally recognisable city in the north-west and it boasts a large number of newly built business centres with serviced offices available for rent at affordable prices. Offices in places like Piccadilly and Spinningfields in the city centre are home to some of the biggest employers in the area, including international banks like Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC and accountancy groups like Grant Thornton and Deloitte.
Suburbs of Manchester like Altrincham, Trafford, and Cheadle all have plenty of high-quality offices to rent, but one of the primary centres of development focus in Greater Manchester recently has been Salford Quays. The area has attracted large-scale investment, running into billions of pounds, as the Peel Group and its partners aim to make Salford Quays one of the leading hubs for media businesses in Europe.
A similarly ambitious scheme in nearby Merseyside is in the process of regenerating some 650 acres of formerly redundant land at the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead. The over-arching development initiative has been dubbed the Ocean Gateway, whereby brownfield sites from Manchester to the mouth of the Mersey are being revamped to promote local employment, attract investment and deliver high quality offices to rent.
Of course, a healthy supply of serviced and managed offices is already available to rent in Manchester, Liverpool, and across the rest of the region in counties like Cheshire, Cumbria, and the Isle of Man.
