A new office in Manchester has revealed its high-end design with detailed CGIs. 11 York Street will offer businesses 22,000 st ft of office space in the heart of the city’s business district.
The serviced offices will be offered by Gilbanks, which aims to create a premium working environment for professional companies.
The designs show an airy business lounge for customers with the extensive use of plants to create a tranquil atmosphere. It uses a combination of materials, pallets and plants to create a tranquil yet dynamic environment focused on productivity. In addition, the offices will be equipped with soundproofed booths for video calls and state-of-the-art meeting rooms.
Commenting on the development, Alex Duckett, managing director of Gilbanks, said: “We are creating something special at 11 York Street. Our members will experience a superior working environment that is a new generation of workspaces designed for post-pandemic working. The plans we have developed with ADT Workplace do a fantastic job of bringing this vision to life.”
It is the only new-build Grade-A building in the central business district, having been named the best new build outside of central London and has already attracted Rolls Royce and Avison Young as occupiers. The building is operated by Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc.
The flexible office space offers 12-month terms to support tenants’ business requirements. It is designed for task-based and hybrid work, designed to inspire younger workers back to the office. Members at 11 York Street will benefit from several event spaces that can host large seminars to yoga sessions, as well as a sky suite on the eighth floor to host events with views over the city.
Stacey Charlesworth, design director at ADT Workplace, said: “We were delighted to be able to partner with the team at Gilbanks on its first venture outside Leeds. When we first met with the team, they were very much looking for a partner who was able to understand Gilbanks’ unique offering and brand personality and deliver a space which would reflect this and provide professional comfort at its best through high-quality, contemporary design.
“By working in close partnership with the team throughout the project, we have helped introduce Gilbanks to the Manchester market with a co-working space that is ideal for the most discerning of professional businesses. We are excited to see what the future holds for Gilbanks in this thriving city.”
