Glencar Construction has agreed a five-year lease to occupy 2,500 sq ft across the whole of the self-contained 5th floor at One St James Square. Glencar will relocate its team
from its current accommodation at Neo.
The 5th floor provides Glencar Construction with a fully fitted office, complete with kitchen, meeting rooms, break out areas and dedicated roof terrace.
One St James Square is currently undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment programme to provide an exposed services finish, all to a Grade A specification. This includes the ground floor, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors, as well as all common areas, including reception, WCs, lift carts, basement, showers and cycle hub. The refurbishment will reach practical completion this week.
Matt Pickersgill, associate director at Avison Young, said: “Being in the industry itself, Glencar requires the highest standard in its office fit-out and has a keen eye for
detail, so we’re delighted the team was attracted to One St James Square.
“Leasing the space pre-completion is testament to the quality of the design and finishes that One St James Square will now be able to offer and we expect to see good levels of
interest over the coming months and following the post-completion launch of the building this October.”
Also commenting Peter Goodman, Glencar managing director Midlands and North said:
“Our operations in Manchester and the North West are expanding rapidly, and this move to One St James Square and the entirety of the 5th floor is a direct response to that growth, whilst also giving us much needed space to expand further.
“The building commands a striking impression right in the heart of Manchester’s prime commercial centre, with several of the city’s most fashionable restaurants and retail spaces
very nearby. The building refurbishment is being undertaken to a very high standard and will create a spacious and contemporary workspace in which we hope our colleagues will flourish and which we will be proud to welcome visitors to.”
Glencar will join law firm Glaisyers ETL, which occupies the 1st
and 2nd floors. Currently the ground,3rd and 4th floors totalling 17,500 sq ft remain available and suite sizes range from split floors of 2,500 sq ft to full floors of 6,780 sq ft.
Avison Young and Edwards & Co are the joint letting agents for One St James Square, with Workspace Design and Build appointed as the contracting team for the full refurbishment.
