Innovative flexible space provider, incspaces, is set to join the dynamic community of businesses occupying The Albert Estate in Manchester in 2023. The firm has agreed a lease of 10,901 sq ft of space at 2 Mount Street from property investment firm Kinrise.
Since acquiring the site in 2015, Kinrise has been working to restore the collection of four iconic properties set around Albert Square in central Manchester; 2 Mount Street, Northern Assurance Buildings, Victoria Buildings and 1 Central Street. This family of buildings has since undergone a complete transformation, now home to approximately 92,000 sq ft of office, retail and leisure.
Set across five floors, the new occupants of 2 Mount Street will enjoy 24-hour use of expertly designed private offices and coworking desks, as well as contemporary meeting rooms, and a top floor event space with breathtaking views of the city. The building is also conveniently located near a tram stop, and within walking distance of Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train station.
Considered by many to be both the geographical and social heart of the city, Kinrise has worked to restore the beauty of the original building with an emphasis on design quality, flexible use of space and state of the art technology. The spaces have been designed with the goal of creating a beautiful environment and fun place to work for people who are passionate about Manchester’s heritage and committed to something new, innovative, sustainable and community-minded.
Jack Mason, Group CEO of incspaces comments; “Following on from the success of our sell-out King William Street building in London, which we launched earlier this year, I’m thrilled to see the incspaces team launch their latest location in such a prominent part of this amazing city. Overlooking Manchester Town Hall, No.2 Mount Street will be brought alive by incspaces.
Myself and the team are honoured to join the community on Albert Square, which will see festivals and events throughout the year. This new building will soon become a destination for visionary businesses who want to be part of Manchester’s dynamic history, and also the future when the Town Hall reopens in 2024”.
Kinrise Founder, George Aberdeen comments; “Built in 1872 and designed to complement Manchester Town Hall, we’re delighted this fabulous Grade II* listed building is now home to incspaces. We are pleased to see they have already signed tenants to once again bring this iconic and beautiful building back alive”.
A place to experience the true spirit of Manchester, this is an exciting time for the transformation of the area and the creation of more community-minded co-working spaces in the city centre.
