It will occupy a 4,709 sq ft building on the site, which is already home to Handelsbanken and Domu Brands.<\/p>\n<p>Kate Oldfield, managing partner of Davis Blank Furniss, said: \u201cIt was a big decision for us to move out of 90 Deansgate after so many years, but we knew the time was right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The relocation is an opportunity for us to create a more dynamic and nimble post Covid-19 business structure which is focussed on growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision to move was taken last year, and it took the firm\u2019s partnership several months to find the right space.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped the new location will provide better client access and &#8220;a more flexible and technologically advanced working environment&#8221; for staff.<\/p>\n<p>Deva City Office Park is on the site of the former Threlfall Brewery, and has been owned by Northwood Investors.<\/p>\n<p>Iain Taylor, director of Northwood Regional UK, added: \u201cSince our acquisition of Deva City Office Park in 2011, we have been pleased with the flow of lettings in both the self-contained Brewery units and the Tower. Our investment into the park has generated some incredibly positive feedback and has proven key in attracting new occupiers.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relocation
