Lawyer chooses 1 New York Street

Mills & Reeve Solicitors has signed a five-year lease with Bruntwood to take part of the ninth floor at 1 New York Street in central Manchester.

The company will pay an undisclosed rent on 4,100 sq ft at the building. Mills & Reeve has 800 staff nationwide and opened its Manchester office three years ago. The company will relocate from Regus space in Peter House on Oxford Street to New York Street.

Nigel Sheppard, partner and head of Mills & Reeves' Manchester office, said: "We believe that in 1 New York Street we have found an excellent location and property that will enable us to continue our successful business in North West and we look forward to moving later this year. The views are exceptional."

Will Lewis of OBI, agents advising Mills & Reeve, added: "We have enjoyed working with another successful professional services business in the relocation process and believe 1 New York Street offers a great base for the business to continue its success."

One New York Street was designed by Denton Corker Marshall and completed in 2009.

The quoting rent at 1 New York Street is £28/sq ft.

DTZ and WHR are joint letting agents at 1 New York Street.
