Trowers & Hamlins set for Princess Street move
TOP 50 law firm Trowers & Hamlins is to move into two floors of a prime Manchester city centre site.
It will take space totalling 17,271 sq ft, at 55 Princess Street on a 10-year lease, with a break at year five.
Trowers & Hamlins plans to move its 70-strong Manchester team into 55 Princess Street from Heron House on Albert Square in May.
Taking the first (8,279 sq ft) and second (8,992 sq ft) floors, the international law firm is moving to accommodate the expansion of its Manchester operations.
Mike Gaskell, office managing partner in Manchester office, said: “The firm has made – and continues to make – significant investments to grow our team in the North West, and as a result, we needed to find larger premises.
“We were impressed with the quality of the refurbishment and, in particular, the new reception and common areas of 55 Princess Street. The offices provide an ideal location and environment for our staff and clients, and we are very much looking forward to settling in.”
Manchester-based OBI Property acted on behalf of the building landlord Benson Elliot on the deal. Trowers & Hamlins was represented by Knight Frank. JLL are joint leasing agents with OBI.
