Flexible workspaces group to open two further city centre sites in 2025

Flexible workspaces operator, Colony, is expanding its Manchester offering with two new venues set to open in 2025.

These additions will take its portfolio to eight locations across the city. 

The new venues, Colony Spring Gardens and Colony King Street, will be strategically located in two of Manchester’s prime central areas.

Both venues will be opened in phases as Colony refurbishes and shapes the spaces sympathetically into its own brand of workspace, previously unseen in this area. 

Colony Spring Gardens, located at 19 Spring Gardens, will initially open its doors on the fifth floor, featuring 4-10 person offices, 16 dedicated coworking desks, meeting rooms, collaboration areas, a community hub, and an outdoor terrace.

Colony said that mid to large sized companies will be pleased to hear that the remaining floors will be converted to larger offices while extending the range of shared amenities even further throughout. The venue will serve to provide the ideal environment for businesses of all sizes, it said.

Opening simultaneously, Colony King Street, situated in the iconic ‘DKNY building’ at 76 King Street, will initially offer a blend of coworking, meeting rooms and event space.

The ground and lower ground floors will house Colony’s largest dedicated event space to date, as well as a gymnasium and grand social bar, positioning it as a key central venue for collaboration and professional events within the network.

The remaining floors will be converted into a range of Colony Private Offices with all associated amenities in the subsequent phases. 

Aaron Ezair, director and co-founder of Colony, said: “Having grown significantly over the last 35 months and using 2024 to refine our core offering, we are excited to finally be bringing our unique brand of coworking and flexible workspace to the heart of the city centre.

“This will also be an opportunity for us to further develop our product with innovative new approaches to our workspace model, backed by member feedback and over seven years of evolution.” 

Colony said its expansion reflects the growing demand for flexible, high quality workspaces that meet the evolving needs of modern businesses in Manchester’s thriving professional ecosystem.
