 The issue of lease flexibility is climbing ever higher up the corporate relocation agenda as economic recovery emerges. Working with occupiers to align property deals with business aspirations, Northern Way Property Company has witnessed burgeoning letting success of office space in Salford Quays at Digital Park.

Office take-up in Salford Quays amounted to just under 200,000 sq ft in 2010; surpassing the five and 10 year averages by 14% and 33% respectively. Boasting a wide range of successful occupiers including Gerber, Sodexho, The British Red Cross and Swiss Post, the Quays has in many cases become the location of choice owing to its excellent blend of connectivity, amenity provision and value for money in respect of property costs.

Agents Canning O’Neill and Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), alongside the owners of Digital Park, Northern Way Property Company have been working closely with occupiers to offer leasehold deals that assist local businesses as the economic recovery emerges. As a measure of its success, Digital Park has recently secured two lettings in as many months.

Following hot on the heels of the letting of Unit 01 to digital imaging solutions company, Business By Technology Ltd (BBT), Topline SEO and its other group companies, which include Jungle Media and My Umbrella, has secured the 3,000 sq ft first floor of Unit 05. An option over the ground floor will facilitate further expansion of the Group. A third unit is also under offer.

Geoff Hill, Director of Northern Way Properties, commented: "We are extremely pleased to have ended 2010 with a letting to BBT and to start 2011 with a letting to Topline. Letting momentum on the park is building up and we expect to be announcing shortly the letting of a third unit.”

Digital Park is a new high quality office development comprising seven self-contained office buildings providing a total of 35,824 sq ft of office space in Manchester.
