We have the pleasure of providing access to Gilbanks premium serviced offices and workspaces in Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham.
In 2017, Gilbanks was established with the ethos that individuals and companies are inspired by the physical environment and community that surrounds them.
Its mission is to create functional and aspirational workspaces that facilitate productivity, allowing professional communities to thrive.
It delivers prime serviced offices in Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham and handpicks premium buildings ideally located with excellent access to transport, retail and leisure amenities.
Gilbanks’ offering includes best-in-class hospitality, the highest-quality ergonomic furniture, and its signature house-blend coffee as part of its objective to deliver the ultimate working environment.
In 2023, Gilbanks had one property in Leeds on Park Row and one in Manchester on York Street.
In 2024, it signed to rent 34,000 square feet of office space at No. 1 St Michael’s, the highly anticipated landmark development in the centre of Manchester, on the site of the former police headquarters building on Bootle Street and Jackson’s Row.
Within months and before the flex space was officially opened, Gilbanks had signed agreements with several high-profile companies wishing to take space with them, including Axa UK and Channel 4, which rented 81 and 100 desks at St Michael’s, respectively.
No. 1 St Michael’s is a 9-story building that offers over 186,000 square feet of office space and workspace, a 30-bedroom boutique hotel, a restaurant on its roof, several terraces, and a public square.
In terms of sustainability, the building uses low-impact materials and an all-electric strategy to reduce its environmental impact. It was expected to be the first fully Net Zero Carbon commercial development in Manchester.
The high-profile development was led by ex-footballer, commercial property investor and developer Gary Neville’s company Relentless.
In February 2025, it was announced that the premium office provider would open its debut Birmingham location at the Five St Philips building.
Landlord Royal London Asset Management Property chose the workspace provider to develop a 22,000-square-foot space on a 15-year lease.
After only seven years of establishment, Gilbanks was selected as the premium serviced office space operator for the iconic No.1 St Michael’s scheme in Manchester.
Within months of this announcement, several high-profile companies, including insurance group Axa UK, executive-level PR and strategic advisory firm Future, and Channel 4, had chosen to take space with the 5* serviced office provider.
Part of Gilbanks’s appeal is that it prides itself on exceptional and meticulous design and creating spaces that cater to the specific needs of professional service businesses.
It also chooses to offer its office space and workspace in ultra-prime locations thoughtfully selected to maximize its members’ convenience, with hassle-free commutes and an abundance of amenities on the doorstep.
Its spaces are also community-driven, and it takes pride in the professional communities that thrive at its properties. It fosters collaboration among like-minded individuals by hosting various sophisticated, mutually beneficial events that encourage connection and growth.
