Capita Symonds unveils plans for new Manchester office

Capita Symonds’ Real Estate Division is co-locating its two Manchester offices into one new location - the 6,119 sq ft 8th floor at The Observatory.

The move will bring together approximately 60 employees from the Sunlight House and Fountain Street to new office space in Manchester’s central business district, from which the firm will offer the full spectrum of real estate services for clients such as Axa, BBC, University of Manchester, British Library and LaSalle Investment Management.

Nick Gregory, Director, Capita Symonds, said: “The Observatory is going to provide Capita Symonds with a better environment in which to work – modern, well appointed accommodation, with great facilities and views.  Being in one location will help us to build our presence in the North West and to communicate to clients the broader service offer they can now access through Capita Symonds’ Real Estate Division, which in turn presents new business opportunities for the team.” 

Chris Lloyd, Associate Director at DTZ, who represented the Landlords USS commented: “This is an important letting for us as it underpins the strength of The Observatory’s location and is the first letting since the comprehensive refurbishment of the reception and vacant floors.”

The new office space is currently under fit out and will be ready for occupation later this month.
