The Office Space
Stepping into Portland Buildings reveals high-specification offices that retain original features such as exposed columns and sandblasted walls. The workspaces cater to diverse business needs, with a project management team available to help customise layouts. Dedicated on-site support includes reception, security, and maintenance services to assist with daily operations.
The building features an in-house food hall and updated communal areas that blend modern design with historic character. Practical additions like bespoke signage, a lift, and secure on-site car parking make daily operations effortless. Tenants also benefit from access to affiliate centres across the country, providing flexibility beyond the Manchester base.
About the Area
Based on Portland Street, these offices sit moments from the Manchester Central Library and the Town Hall complex. Commuters benefit from proximity to St Peter’s Square tram stop and Oxford Street, which serves various bus routes. Both Manchester Oxford Road and Piccadilly train stations are within walking distance.
Manchester Airport is a 19-minute drive via the A5103 and M56. For lunch, Philpotts café is at the foot of the building, with a Tesco Express and Wetherspoon Paramount nearby. Local hotels, including the Novotel and Premier Inn, offer accommodation for visiting clients.
