Watch This Space, has this Easter launched This is The Space, a boutique office scheme for creatives in the heart of Spinningfields, Manchester.
Strategically located on 68 Quay Street, Watch This Space acquired the scheme in July last year from St. James’ Chambers in a deal worth over £1million. Having laid empty for three years, the company undertook a comprehensive, nine-month refurbishment of the 4,947 sq ft property to create a modern “boutique-style” working environment, with space ranging from individual pods for one person businesses to self-contained offices of up to 12 persons.
The design of “This is the Space” is inspired by the city and people of Manchester featuring work of local artists and all the sections of the building are uniquely designed giving residents within their own true identify. The ground floor design is based on a miniature urban park encased in plants and greenery, adding a Feng Shu vibe to the building.
Speaking about the scheme, Michelle Rothwell, founder of Watch This Space, said: “This Is The Space really challenges traditional working environments and is designed to stimulate employees. We’ve given occupiers here the option to personalize their work space and make it really feel that it’s their home and be in greater control. We’re also able to rent space for as little as seven days, which gives occupiers’ greater flexibility.”
“We have also invested in state-of-the-art technology, such as enabling spaces and doors can be opened via tenants’ mobile phones. In addition, each boutique office features its own unique design with all of them having different flooring and light fittings as an example. It’s a scheme we’re really proud of and we’re excited to have now launched to the market.”
