Premium workspace operator Gilbanks will officially open the doors to its new serviced offices at No.1 St Michael’s in Manchester on 2 June, becoming one of the first businesses to launch within the £400m city centre development.
The launch marks a significant milestone for both Gilbanks and the wider St Michael’s scheme, which is led by Relentless Developments. Designed with professional services in mind, the Gilbanks workspace spans 34,000 square feet over 1.5 floors. It offers a tailored environment that combines high-spec design with a focus on flexibility, sustainability and customer experience.
The site has already attracted major occupiers, including insurance group AXA, which is relocating its Manchester team to the building. AXA will occupy space designed to accommodate 70 people, benefiting from cutting-edge technology and a workspace that enhances productivity and well-being.
Alex Duckett, managing director of Gilbanks, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed with the interest in our new offices at No.1 St Michael’s, which we believe set a new benchmark for design and luxury. If companies want to call this fantastic building home, they need to act quickly, as we have the last vacancies in the development.
“Gilbanks’ offices are designed to provide an unparalleled working environment for professional firms in the heart of this fantastic city. We’ve been looking forward to opening the doors and welcoming customers to this landmark building.”
The Gilbanks offer at No.1 St Michael’s is part of a wider strategy to develop service-rich environments for professional firms. The company’s expansion is driven by high service levels, thoughtfully curated events, and a strong business community ethos.
With viewings now open, Gilbanks has reported record levels of interest from prospective clients. The company already operates successful locations in Leeds and at 11 York Street in Manchester, and recently announced expansion into Birmingham with a new site at Five St Philips.
The new workspace at No.1 St Michael’s supports the development’s Net Zero Carbon goals, incorporating recycled materials and a considered approach to waste reduction. The building is expected to become Manchester’s first fully Net Zero Carbon commercial development in both construction and operation.
