Sunlight House fully lets two floors ahead of completion
14 May 2025Sunlight House has reached a significant milestone with the practical completion of its 7th and 8th floors, with one and a half floors comprising 21,864 sq. ft. pre let. This marks a key milestone in the ongoing £35m refurbishment project, highlighting the strong demand for premium office space in Manchester city centre.
The building, which is due to complete in the autumn this year, offers Grade A office space that seamlessly blends modern amenities with historic charm, positioned in a prime location for businesses seeking high-quality, character-rich office space. Situated in the heart of Manchester’s business district, Sunlight House is poised to become a standout destination for companies looking for a prestigious address with excellent transport links.
“This early success reflects the strong demand for high-quality, characterful office space in Manchester’s city centre”
The early letting of one and a half floors prior to the completion of all the works demonstrates strong market interest and reflects the increasing demand for exceptional office environments in Manchester. With further phases of the refurbishment on track for completion shortly, the building will re open to new occupiers later this year.
Prospective tenants are invited to arrange viewings of the remaining available space. Sunlight House is open for viewings and businesses interested in leasing opportunities can explore how the building’s unique offering can meet their office requirements.
"Reaching practical completion of the 7th and 8th floors and securing a tenant for over 20,000 sq. ft. before the building works are complete is a real milestone for the Sunlight House restoration. This early success reflects the strong demand for high-quality, characterful office space in Manchester’s city centre, and reinforces the growing confidence in Sunlight House as a leading business destination. We’re excited to continue bringing this iconic building back to life and look forward to welcoming more tenants as the refurbishment moves forward."
