Hyphen building signs Irish Consulate
09 February 2024
OBI has recently concluded its latest letting at Hyphen, following a transaction agreed with the Consulate General of Ireland.
The Consulate will be taking up space on the 6th floor, South on a 15-year lease, resulting in the building now being more than 90 per cent let.
Hyphen, which boasts exceptional ESG credentials, was recently acquired by Blue Coast Capital and offers high quality, sustainable workspaces, with a significant proportion of the building available on a ‘plug and play’ approach. There is also access to communal roof space, a premium coffee shop and lifestyle gym, all within a great location of Manchester’s prime CBD, overlooking St Peter’s Square.
The Irish Consulate is currently located in temporary offices at Lowry House on Marble Street. Work will begin shortly on the fit out of the new permanent Chancery space with a view to relocating to Hyphen in early 2025. .
Blue Coast is soon to commence a high-quality, design-led fully fitted and furnished space of 3,399 sq ft on the 4th floor, North, expected to attract strong interest. Once leased, the building will be more than 95 per cent occupied.
Matthew Lester, Asset Manager at Blue Coast Capital, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Irish Consulate to our occupier line up and to execute the first phase of our business plan at the building. Hyphen is one of Manchester’s most innovative buildings, which is a hub for forward-thinking businesses that want to flourish in a city centre location.
“Suites are quickly being snapped up and there’s no surprise given our extensive ESG offering and premium workspace.
“We’re looking forward to filling the last few spaces and watching the impact that our tenants make in the city.”
