BRABNERS EXPANDS WITH ORBIT

Leading law firm Brabners Chaffe Street has strengthened its North West presence by taking further Manchester office space at its 55 King Street address from Orbit Developments. The deal signed with highly influential Orbit sees Brabners taking two adjacent floors of the prestigious building totalling 21,000 sq ft.

Orbit Developments Director of Leasing Paul McLeman comments, “I am pleased to agree this deal with Brabners given they were existing tenants so I am happy we have been able to accommodate their growth and consolidate our working relationship. Given the competition in the marketplace the success of 55 King Street is evident from our lettings in the past six months which total in excess of 26,500 sq ft and includes our fastest ever deal with Hogg Robinson Travel. This address is now almost fully let with just 1800 sq ft on the 6th floor remaining and the building benefits from other prestigious Orbit tenants including Knight Frank, Barclays Bank and clothing retailer Flannels. I am pleased to report that the city centre market for us is buoyant and anyone interested in the remaining 55 King St space should talk to me now on 01625 588200.”
