Grade II Listed Mansfield Chambers in St Ann’s Square, Manchester.
The Covid pandemic has caused many businesses to re-think their office strategy none more so than Manchester accountants, Alexander & Co LLP.
Alexander & Co was established in 1976. It has been based in Mansfield Chambers for thirty years. Over that time the firm has grown organically by acquiring additional space within the building, as and when required. It now occupies just under 5,000 sq.ft. arranged over 3 floors.
Built in 1906, Mansfield Chambers stands on the corner of St. Ann's Square and St. Ann Street. It is a fine example of the Italian palazzo style of architecture, with semi-circular headed arches and Venetian windows. Designed by the architect J. E. Gregan, it was originally Benjamin Heywood's Bank.
Unfortunately, the restrictions imposed by its Listed status have made it difficult to adapt the building to the needs of the modern office occupier. The largely cellular layout limits collaboration and communication between teams.
TAG has been appointed to identify suitable relocation options so the partners can decide whether to operate break options contained within the firm’s existing leases.
If you would like advice on what your options might be when it comes to your existing lease and what alternative office accommodation is currently available in the market, please call Martyn Markland on 0161 457 1422 or email him at mm@tenantag.co.uk.
