The agents appointed to market the latest scheme by award winning regeneration company Urban Splash are anticipating high demand from businesses looking for space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

High occupier demand anticipated for latest Urban Splash scheme

Urban Splash began work on the redevelopment of Stubbs Mill in April and expects the 30,000 sq ft office scheme to be ready for occupancy early next year. The former industrial property boasts much of the original structure, including 2.4 metre high windows which flood the building with natural light.

This week Bilfinger GVA and Edwards & Co have been appointed to market the flexible work spaces – ranging in size from 2,500 sq ft to 22,500 sq ft – and both share the developer’s confidence that the scheme will generate a flurry of interest.

“The Manchester market is moving again commercially and its great to be involved in this much anticipated Urban Splash new commercial scheme,” said David Thwaites of Bilfinger GVA.

Ed Keany, from Edwards & Co, added: “We anticipate high demand for space at Stubbs Mill, not only because of the developer but because of its location in New Islington – somewhere fast grabbing the attention of Manchester’s business community.”

Urban Splash commercial manager, Paul Jones, said Stubbs Mill is a fantastic building and he is looking forward to working with the joint agents to formally market the space on offer.

“New Islington is undergoing a rapid transformation which most recently benefitted from the addition of Metrolink – the stop for which is close to Stubbs’ front door,” he continued.

“It is the perfect base for businesses who are perhaps considering the Northern Quarter and who want a raw office feel in a historic building but with superfast broadband and great facilities.”

Stubbs Mill has been designed by Manchester-based Sixtwo Architects which was named Winner of the Best Young Practice at the MSA Design Awards 2014 – just two years after the studio was established.
