Located in the office core of Manchester, 60 Fountain Street has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment by McAleer & Rushe to offer air-conditioned, Grade A office accommodation across five floors and an extended, reconfigured and modernised reception.
Tom Lathwood, surveyor, national offices at the Manchester office of Colliers International, secured the deal and said: “Leyton UK is the latest blue-chip business wanting to share in the increasingly global success story that is Manchester by securing high quality office space in a central location such as 60 Fountain Street.”
