A central Manchester location with first-class fibre connectivity.
Make the most of Manchester We’ve invested over £2m to redevelop the 21-storey ‘Manchester One’ to create a highly sophisticated city centre working environment with a sought-after M1 postcode.
Formerly known as ‘Portland Tower’ and located on the corner of Portland Street and Sackville Street, the redevelopment of Manchester One has been substantial. Both inside and out, the building has been refurbished to compliment today’s business needs in terms of flexibility, usability and digital connectivity. Manchester One houses a total of 131,000 sq ft of high quality office accommodation, available from 300 sq ft to 24,000 sq ft, on short and long-term leases.
131,000 TOTAL SQ FT OF OFFICE SPACE
With a new identity, a new name, a new reception, redesigned communal spaces and completely refurbished office spaces, Manchester One delivers an impressive experience for customers and visitors alike. But one thing remains constant – and that’s Manchester One’s city centre location, amenities and proximity to the city’s main rail and tram interchanges. Across our portfolio of 110 buildings we’re working closely with Metronet (UK), a pioneering North West Internet Service Provider to deliver ‘super-connected’ office space.
300–24,000 SQ FT RANGE OF OFFICE SPACE AVAILABLE
This means our customers at Manchester One can expect connection speeds of 1Mb per second to 1Gb per second as standard and even up to 10Gb per second in some instances, with easy set-up, instant scalability and a 99.95% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for network uptime. All this comes with the added benefit of meeting rooms for hire and a dedicated on-site customer service team to manage the smooth operation of the building. Add to that secure cycle racks, on-site shower facilities and ample car parking options and Manchester One presents an ideal opportunity for your business to grow in Manchester’s professional heartland.

Reception lobby with iPad-embedded coffee tables for Wi-Fi Internet access
An instantly recognisable feature of the Manchester skyline, the upper floors come with some of the best panoramic views of the city and the Peak District.
The new look and feel created at Manchester One is designed to impress at every opportunity and being an island site in the city ensures you’re not overlooked by other buildings. This means your office is saturated with natural light, creating airy, open-plan spaces. The ground floor landscaping at Manchester One has been redesigned, with an abundance of grass, box hedgerows and silver birch to give an impressive and calming feel to the building approach. Arriving in reception, visitors experience a large, open and contemporary space. The quality of materials is high – from bespoke brown oak reception desks, ‘Ergon’ stone tiling, ‘Robin Day Club’ seating and ‘Kobe’ designer lighting. Corian coffee tables feature built-in iPads for Internet access and information on local amenities. Refurbished offices come complete with air conditioning, recessed modular lighting, perimeter trunking and brand new flooring. A number of lift lobbies and communal spaces have also been comprehensively refurbished.

The view from Manchester One
Close to the heart of things Manchester One is all about the location and is the city’s prime office location for customers who need fast and easy access to Manchester’s commuter network.
Office staff only have to walk across the road to access the city’s main bus and Metrolink interchange at Piccadilly Gardens. For rail users, Manchester Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Victoria train stations are within five to ten minutes’ walk. Being located on Portland Street also means you’re situated on one of the city’s main arterial bus routes and with a bus stop on your doorstep, office staff can expect convenient and regular access to out-of-town districts. Customer car parking is available to the rear of Manchester One, as well as direct access to the Chorlton St NCP car park via a private gateway link off the main reception.
When you work at Manchester One, you make the most of the city as the location means you’re spoilt for choice for local amenities. Just a short walk away, you’ll find a wide choice of restaurants, bars, cafes, supermarkets, eateries, health clubs and cultural hot spots. Across the road is New York Street, with a range of amenities on offer, including the boutique sandwich shop Philpotts, ‘The Grill on New York Street’, the widely-acclaimed ‘The Alchemist’, a 24-hour access ‘The Gym’ and ‘Generation’ art gallery. A wider selection of cafés, newsagents and restaurants can also be found on Portland Street and Oxford Street. If retail therapy is your thing, then Manchester’s main shopping districts of Market Street, Northern Quarter, Deansgate and King’s Street are nearby. If your business entertaining takes a cultural turn, check out Manchester’s impressive City Art Gallery, the Royal Exchange Theatre, the Palace Theatre and the ‘Cornerhouse’ arts and film.

Live out your brand – an example of a creative fit-out at Melbourne Hosting, Manchester Technopark
‘Blank canvas’ work space To help you make the space distinctively your own, we openly encourage a collaborative approach to the design of your office.
We want you to view the work space not as something to be taken ‘off-the-shelf’ but more as a ‘blank canvas’ for you to turn your ideas of the perfect office into a reality. And we can help every step of the way with design consultancy, space planning, fit-out and relocation. The idea is to create a space that reflects you and your brand whilst challenging your perception of what an ‘office’ looks like. Maybe you do your best work in the kitchen and want to make that the hub of your meeting space? How about a pool table in your boardroom or rowing machines to replace fax machines?
Square One, Manchester
A putting green perhaps or hot-desking at breakfast bars with Sky News on tap? A gym, somewhere to practice yoga or an office fitted out like a library… the possibilities are endless.
“ Bruntwood helped us to
locate the right building in the right location and worked with us every step of the way on our ‘blank canvas’ office.” Tony Prosser RealtimeUK
Trafford House, Manchester
Don’t just take our word for it...
“ Bruntwood led us
through the entire process seamlessly, even providing us with temporary Internet access whilst our telecoms were being moved.
The move to a much larger, open plan space has been a revelation. We have been able to finally relax into a suite that we can call our own and the sense of family within the business has grown. The Customer Service team in Manchester One have been attentive to our every need through the moving process to the point that it feels like we’re all part of the same team.”
