Find your sanctuary in the heart of the city The property
Businesses thrive in the hustle and bustle of prime city locations, but the people within them often need peace and quiet in order to function at their very best. At Riverside, you get the best of both worlds.
Situated just a few minutes walk away from the main thoroughfare of Deansgate in Manchester, this unique complex of five office buildings offers all the amenities and vibrancy of a prime city centre site, but with unusual additional benefits. Its riverside position and private inner courtyard provide an oasis of tranquillity where extensive planting, timber decking and water features combine to create an ideal place to relax.
The complex was previously owned by the Manchester Evening News, and the names of the buildings reflect that unique heritage, with four of them named after historic print typefaces; Aldine, Baskerville, Cloister and Delphian. The entrance reception to Riverside on New Bailey Street Riverside has been comprehensively refurbished with over £5m invested in improving the buildings both inside and out. The redevelopment has included two brand new, statement reception entrances and a completely re-landscaped inner courtyard, exclusively for the use of Riverside customers.
Internally, the works have included a full upgrade of the office floor plates, creating impressive office accommodation offering tailored, open-plan suites delivered to a ‘new build’ standard. And all this without the new-build price tag.
Outside the complex, Bruntwood has worked hand in hand with the local authorities to make significant improvements to the buildings’ surroundings. As part of the Irwell River Park scheme, a new landscaped walkway now connects New Bailey Street and Riverside with Trinity Bridge and the Lowry Hotel, creating a new riverside route for pedestrians and cyclists.
