Property Overview

Nestled amidst Manchester's ever-evolving skyline, the John Swift Building is a striking fusion of history and modernity, offering an unparalleled leasing opportunity for Manchester's creatives. Situated in the heart of the Northern Quarter, this architectural icon boasts a rich heritage and distinctive character, with its red and yellow brick façade, arcade-style detailing, and Dutch mansard-designed roof – a nod to the building's storied origins in 1914 as a fruit distribution hub. This historic landmark retains its timeless charm while embracing contemporary functionality. Inside, you'll find a harmonious blend of heritage features and modern enhancements. From rustic brick walls and arched windows to stylish lighting and energy-efficient heating and air conditioning, the sympathetic upgrade transcends the style and comfort needed for a new age of working. The top floor even showcases the original winch wheel and gearing, adding a unique industrial touch to the open-plan space. Each of the five floors within the building offer a unique, character-rich environment catering to a diverse range of businesses. Previous tenants have included advertising agencies, tattoo studios, VR and IT firms, and fashion companies, reflecting the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of the Northern Quarter. These versatile spaces are designed to inspire productivity, foster collaboration, and provide a sense of individuality, all within a setting steeped in history and craftsmanship. Occupying undoubtedly one of the finest locations in Manchester, there's plenty of last-minute accommodation for visiting clients. A five-minute walk east brings you to Ancoats, a cultural hub with outdoor artworks, a mix of bars, and Rudy's pizza, often considered the best in town. The vibrant Northern Quarter is Manchester’s cultural heartbeat, often compared to London’s Shoreditch for its eclectic mix of creativity, street art, music, and café culture. Not surprising, given Manchester’s rich and varied musical heritage, there is a swathe of venues to enjoy an eclectic mix of genres including the famous Band on the Wall, Matt & Phreds Jazz Club, Manchester Cathedral, Co-op Century Hall, and the RIBA award-winning Stoller Hall – home to the best in classical and contemporary music. They come together to create an energetic atmosphere that attracts a dynamic community of artists, writers, and innovators. For more traditional conveniences, the area is surrounded by an array of dining options, from world cuisine to quick lunch spots, and is just a short walk from Manchester Arndale's shopping and food halls. Transport links are second to none, with Manchester Victoria station a mere ten-minute walk away, providing access to Piccadilly, Manchester Airport, and major cities like Leeds, Liverpool, and Newcastle. The Metrolink network ensures seamless connections to the suburbs and city centre, making the John Swift Building an accessible and highly desirable location for clients and employees alike. With its stunning heritage features, modern amenities, and desirable location, the John Swift Building offers a unique opportunity to establish your business in one of Manchester’s most iconic properties. Whether you’re seeking a creative hub or a professional workspace with character, this building promises to exceed expectations and deliver an inspiring environment tailored to your needs.
