The city centre of Manchester looks like it will have a better year than expected as the lets being taken up in the area increase and the predictions of 809,000 square feet for the annual total will be exceeded.
The Co-operative group are thought to be leading way, especially after they started construction on a bespoke headquarters that will be solely responsible for 325,000 square feet of office space on Miller Street.
