Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust has acquired 101 Princess Street, a Grade II listed multi-let office building situated in Manchester City Centre, in an off market transaction.

James Preston of Colliers International commented: “The Princess Street corridor is a hot bed of creative companies and is becoming an increasingly sought after location by institutional investors. Significant levels of investment/development being undertaken within the immediate vicinity, including the proposed improvements to both nearby Piccadilly and Oxford Road Railway Stations have also proved attractive to the occupational market.”
