Lettings agreed at landmark building

On behalf of Schroders Capital, OBI has secured four new lettings at prominent Manchester landmark, City Tower.

Following the recent rebrand of the building by OBI’s Studio team, OBI’s transactions & asset management team agreed the lettings, with healthcare recruitment business Linq HC, Match Me Car Finance, and debt purchase firm Perch Group.

The businesses have joined recruitment agency Talentia in deals totalling more than 6,400 sq ft.

Linq HC has taken a 2,759 sq ft suite on the 22nd floor, while Match Me Car Finance has taken 25 workstations across the 12th floor – securing its second space in Manchester city centre.

Perch Group will move into a 1,330 sq ft space on the 26th floor while Talentia has relocated to a larger floorplate within the building.

Paul Mills, transactions and asset management at OBI, said: “City Tower has a diverse and thriving community and these new tenants are no exception. As we prepare to enter a new era at City Tower, we have great pleasure to welcome new businesses to the building alongside helping them to fulfil individual needs and growth plans.”

Rob Cosslett, fund manager for Schroders Capital, added: “This recent run of leasing activity at City Tower showcases the continued demand for high-quality workspace in prime locations across Manchester. These new arrivals are testament to our expert offices team who have drawn upon their experience of attracting strong occupiers to our portfolio of assets across the UK, helping us deliver robust returns for our investors.”
