GVA and Edwards & Co to market latest Urban Splash scheme

The new office scheme, which will be ready for occupancy from early 2016, is situated within New Islington where Urban Splash has already created apartments, a park, a marina, workspaces and the soon to be launched ‘hoUSe’ family housing scheme.

The developer is expecting a flurry of interest occupiers looking for spaces from 2,500 to 22,500 sq ft, especially those in the creative industries as Urban Splash commercial manager Paul Jones explained: “This is a fantastic building and we are delighted to have appointed Edwards and Co and Bilfinger GVA to work with us to formally market the space we have on offer here.

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

The building, a former machine works brimming with unique features, comprises units from 2,500 sq ft over three floors upto a total of 22,500 sq. ft. Each unit boasts a series of 2.4 metre high original windows, flooding the spaces with natural light. Tenants will also benefit from

Added David Thwaite’s of Bilfinger GVA: “The Manchester market is moving again commercially and it’s great to be involved in this much anticipated Urban Splash new commercial scheme.”

Concluded Ed Keany at Edwards & Co: “We anticipate a 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.”

Stubbs Mill has been designed by Manchester-based SixTwo Architects, and began on site in March 2015.
