In a marketplace where occupiers are demanding more from their landlords, the accessibility, specification and efficiency of the floorplates available are unparalleled. The scheme is now 82% let and with a great deal of interest in the remaining space we anticipate to be making announcements regarding further lettings in the coming months.”

They identified at an early stage that the scheme offered them the profile, specification and accessibility they were looking for. They join a long list of businesses who have found the working environment at Piccadilly Place to be second to none.’

“The remaining availability within Piccadilly Place affords occupiers one of the few built and available large floorplates with a ‘Grade A’ specification in the central Manchester market.”
