INVESTMENT consultant Adimus has taken 2,500 sq ft at 196 Deansgate in Manchester city centre.
It has relocated from Quay House in Peter Street which is being demolished to make way for the final office block at Spinningfields.
196 Deansgate was acquired by Commercial Estates Group in 2010. Occupiers included PR firm City Press, marketing business Madhouse and A2A
Engineering. Quoting rents are £17/sq ft.
CEG plans to refurbish the first and second floors to provide a further 18,000 sq ft. Joint letting agents are WHR and Edwards & Co.
James Preston of WHR said: “Demand for good quality office accommodation is continuing to rise at a steady pace and availability of existing
stock is rapidly diminishing. The quality of the product on offer at 196 Deansgate in conjunction with the Deansgate and Spinningfields
location is proving popular with occupiers and we anticipate strong interest in the remaining space.”
