The only grade A office space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

80,000 sq ft of commercial office, retail and leisure space, with 40,000 sq ft available to let and occupy now.

Located in the heart of Manchester’s thriving Northern Quarter, The Hive is a radical new approach to office workspace. Its innovative natural ventilation system makes it one of the greenest and cost effective buildings you’ll find anywhere. Good for the environment, it’s even better for you and your workforce.

With Arts Council England already settled into 18,000 sq ft on the ground and first floor, and Studio Venues, offering exceptional conference and event facilities to hire occupying the whole of the third floor (12,000 sq ft), your business will be in good company at the Hive.

Opening soon (winter 2011) Bakerie at the Hive brings a new food and drink offer to the Northern Quarter. There’s 3,000 sq ft available on the ground floor which is very suited to other retail, bar or leisure uses.

The Hive keeps its cool through a clever combination of building materials that absorb any build up of heat during the day and then gently let it out at night through secure motorised louvers. This “night purge” means your office remains comfortably and naturally cool during the day.

The Hive achieves a BREEAM “excellent” rating and an EPC rating of B. Its sedum roof gardens and private balcony spaces all help out the local ecology, while being perfect break out spaces for meetings in the sunshine or a relaxing lunch with colleagues.

The Hive has low-flow fixtures and fittings, self closing taps and leak detection facilities, an energy efficient lighting and heating system plus state of the art recycling and environmental waste management system.

There’s a large, secure bike store on the ground floor, complete with showers and lockers so you’re fresh for a day at work. The Hive is just five minutes walk from Piccadilly railway station and Piccadilly Gardens Metrolink, and 10 mins from Victoria station and Shudehill Metrolink and Bus station. Contract parking, if needed, is available close to The Hive.
