Hat-trick of deals secured at Westpoint, Old Trafford

Marcol, advised by Savills and Edwards & Co, has let office space at Westpoint on Chester Road, Old Trafford to the Central Manchester University Foundation Trust, which forms part of the NHS.

The Trust has agreed a new 5-year lease on 3,332 sq ft (310 sq m) of space where agents are quoting rents of £7.50 per sq ft (£81 per sq m).

This latest deal follows in the success of two other recent lettings at Westpoint which saw The Rating Agency take 1,219 sq ft (113 sq m) and The Rose Partnership acquire 1,616 sq ft (150 sq m), on 3 and 5-year leases respectively.

Richard Lowe, Associate at Savills, comments: “Westpoint’s highly accessible location within close proximity to Trafford Bar Metro Station, coupled with its excellent parking provision makes it a very popular choice, whilst its recent refurbishment to include a new cafe and gym has also generated considerable interest. These three lettings are testament to the on-going strength of the scheme providing high quality and cost effective space.”

Oliver Radford, directorate of Anaesthesia & directorate of Critical Care Services at the Central Manchester University Foundation Trust, adds: ‘Westpoint was the obvious choice for the Central Manchester University Foundation Trust given its excellent refurbishment in a great location at an economical rent.”
