Manchester's office market is set for a strong end to the year, global property giant Knight Frank says in its latest report into the city.
The company's latest Mid Year Review of occupier and investment activity showed the city had a busy first half year, with 124 occupier deals completing. That came to almost half a million sq ft of space – the highest total for three years and on a par with the first half of 2019.
The public sector accounted for some 30% of those lettings - led by the Government Property Agency taking 130,000 sq ft at 9a First Street – but professional services firms were the most active, accounting for 32 deals.
