Property Overview
Nestled amidst Manchester's ever-evolving skyline, the John Swift Building is a striking fusion of history and modernity, offering an unparalleled office 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, entrants 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. Each of the five floors within the John Swift Building offers 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. Occupying undoubtedly one of the finest locations in Manchester, there's plenty of last-minute accommodation for visiting clients. A five-minute walk east leads 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 surprisingly, 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 10-minute walk away. This station provides access to Piccadilly, Manchester Airport, and major cities such as 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 a business presence in one of Manchester’s most iconic properties. Whether seeking a creative hub or a professional workspace with character, this building promises to exceed expectations and deliver an inspiring environment tailored to any needs.

About Northern Fringe
The success of Manchester over the past few years has established it as the UK’s premier office market outside London. The Northern Fringe has been one of the city’s fastest-growing office districts in recent years, where large-scale development projects such as NOMA, Embankment and New Bailey have emerged to rival the more established City Core.
The area has risen in prominence as an office destination, attracting major occupiers such as the Co-operative Group, HMRC and Freshfields. The area received a further boost in late 2020, when media giant BT pre-let 175,000 square feet at 4 New Bailey.
Occupiers have been drawn to the area by large floor plates and the 15% rent discount compared to the City Core. They also benefit from the rich variety of culture, shopping and nightlife, concentrated in areas such as Spinningfields and the Northern Quarter.
Manchester has a world-class, multi-modal, integrated transport infrastructure that provides connectivity across the wider North West region and UK. The upcoming HS2 line will further cut the journey time between Manchester and London by an hour, creating more opportunities for business.
