Schroders Capital, the private markets investment division of global asset manager Schroders, has agreed a deal with expanding recruitment firm Talentia.
The four-year deal will see Talentia take up 1,330 sq ft in Schroders Capital’s ‘Elevate’, comprising fully-fitted space on the 26th floor of City Tower, which is now fully let, in central Manchester. OBI supported Schroders Capital on the interior design and delivery of the marketing for Elevate.
Elevate is a design-led solution offering fully-furnished workspaces which provide potential occupiers with the flexibility, convenience, and cost certainty that they desire.
Talentia Group currently operates in Northampton, Bristol and Leeds and provides its services across a wide range of sectors, specialising in education, technology, compliance, warehousing, construction, marketing and sales.
Guy Walker, CEO of Talentia Group, said:
“Manchester is a growing and thriving City, Talentia Group matches these ambitions and is pleased to find its new home at City Tower which was a natural choice for our own strategic aims.”
The Schroders Capital-owned building boasts the highest office space in Manchester with market-leading digital connectivity and flexible floorplates offering expansive open-plan floors to smaller fully fitted workspace.
Rob Prescott, Asset Manager, Real Estate, at Schroders Capital, said:
“It is always a pleasure to welcome new businesses to Manchester. Talentia was looking to expand its operations and chose City Tower due to the building’s unrivalled transport links, location and the fact that they can avoid the hassle of fitting out a space due to our clear-cut ‘Elevate’ model.”
All Elevate suites at City Tower are now fully let, demonstrating the success of the model. Other occupiers recently securing Elevate suites include car finance specialist Oodle and property management business MAPP. Supported by OBI’s interior design team, Schroders Capital will deliver a further 6,000 sq ft of fitted space across three suites on the 22nd floor at City Tower.
Located in Piccadilly Gardens, City Tower‘s surrounding amenities include Starbucks, Pizza Express, Marks & Spencer, Nudo and Franco Manca.
Kate Malone from OBI was the letting agent on the deal.
