100 Embankment is a 166,000 sq. ft, nine-storey office building which was delivered by Ask Real Estate, Richardson and Tristan Capital, in a joint venture with Salford City Council.
Jamie Hills, development director at Ask Real Estate, said: "x+why is a superb operator whose values and strong brand are a great fit with Embankment and their offer will really enhance the building and support a community for all future occupiers.
"We are proud to welcome them to the Greengate neighbourhood which has benefitted from significant investment and regeneration in recent years.
"Flexible workspace operators are thriving alongside more traditional occupiers as businesses, both large and small, are looking for increased collaboration and the flexibility to expand and contract as circumstances change."
Rupert Dean from x+why added: "We chose 100 Embankment because it’s in a great location and has a wealth of amenities right on the doorstep for our members.
"Our experienced management team is looking forward to starting work on creating superb spaces for the next generation of office occupiers.
"There is a real opportunity right now for businesses to embrace the changing role of the office and we’re looking forward to bringing something dynamic and exciting to Salford and Manchester."
The fit out is due to be completed and the flexible workspace open to occupiers from the autumn.
A spokesperson from Salford City Council said: "This is great news for the city and for the Greengate area specifically. x+why has a strong track record and will provide the thriving businesses communities of Salford and Manchester with high-quality, flexible workspace which is very much in demand as people begin to return to the office.
"Their excellent green credentials and accreditation as a certified B Corp are very much in line with our own sustainability targets for the City and I’m sure will also be welcomed by future occupiers of the building."
