Optegra sets its sights on Didsbury Point

OPHTHALMIC firm Optegra UK is to open a treatment centre at One Didsbury Point in South Manchester.  

The company, which is in the process of rolling out a nationwide network of treatment centres, has taken 13,450 sq ft on a 15-year lease at £18 per sq ft.

The development is a joint venture between Countryside Properties and Liberty Property Trust.

Andrew Carrington, director at Countryside Properties, said: “To have secured the letting of two floors to high-calibre tenants, in what has been a challenging market, emphasises the quality of the building and location. 

“We have worked hand-in-hand with Optegra to ensure the space met their specific requirements and are now focused on working pro-actively with other potential occupiers to successfully secure further lettings.” 

Knight Frank and P3 acted on behalf of the developer; Hurst Warne represented Optegra UK Ltd.
