KNIGHT Frank and Edwards & Co have been appointed as the joint letting agents for 76 King Street on behalf of landlord 53N.
The five-storey building, which has a listed façade, has 17,000 sq ft of grade A office space on the first and second floors, with a further 13,000 sq ft managed by serviced office firm Orega on the third and fourth floors.
Andrew Timms, partner of Edwards & Co said: “76 King Street has been refurbished to a particularly high standard, offering basement car parking and flexible grade A floor plates with a boutique hotel feel to the offices. Tenants will also benefit from the facilities that Orega can provide such as a private roof terrace and large meeting rooms. King Street remains a highly sought after location and we’re confident 76 will attract interest from a wide range of companies.”
David Porter, partner at Knight Frank added: “This appointment adds to a number of recent instructions we have had for quality buildings in key locations in Manchester. The extensive refurbishment works, including a new remodelled entrance, gives the listed façade a greater presence along King Street, making this a desirable property for potential new tenants.”
