CORPORATE finance adviser Zeus Capital has taken 4,000 sq ft at 82 Kings Street in Manchester.

It is one of a number of firms that has left Ralli Courts in Salford ahead of its demolition to make way for a new 125,000 sq ft office block which is being developed by the English Cities Fund.

The firm has agreed a lease on the 14th floor of the building which is managed by F&C REIT Asset Management.

Tremayne Ducker, head of private company and private equity at Zeus, said: “The new office space in the heart of Manchester’s financial district will support the continuing success of our business. We have made a strong start to the year and are looking forward to working with more ambitious management teams that are set for growth.”

There is still 30,000 sq ft available at the building. Joint letting agents are GVA, TSG and WHR Property Consultants.
