The exposed stonework, beams and ceilings offer something completely different from a conventional office, while the new interiors provide the quality and functionality businesses expect from a modern workplace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The refurbishment retains original features including exposed stone walls, timber beams and ceilings, complemented by contemporary finishes.<\/p>\n<p>Town Centre Securities worked with Cubicworks on the design and delivery of the refurbishment, with Penketh Group providing the furniture.<\/p>\n<p>The fully fitted suite includes a fitted kitchen, dedicated meeting room with integrated AV, breakout areas, a phone booth, smart lighting and air conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>Wright added: &#8220;This is the first time in several years that we&#8217;ve had a larger suite available at Carvers Warehouse. By creating a fully fitted and furnished workspace alongside a more traditional office offering, we&#8217;re giving businesses greater flexibility and the opportunity to establish themselves in one of Manchester&#8217;s most characterful buildings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The building is home to businesses in engineering, digital and creative sectors, alongside a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Both suites are available for immediate occupation.<\/p>\n<p>Town Centre Securities is a Leeds-based property investment and car parking operator with assets of over \u00a3290m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third floor project at Grade II* listed Carvers Warehouse
