Construction Specialist To Set Up Base In Manchester's Circle Square
Manchester's newest neighbourhood, Circle Square is set to welcome a new construction industry tenant.
Construction equipment and software and services specialist Hilti has announced plans to uproot its GB Head Office from Trafford Park to the new location on Oxford Road.
Matias Järnefelt, Managing Director, Hilti Northern Europe and Great Britain, said: "After listening to feedback from our workforce we selected No.1 Circle Square as the new home for our GB Head Office. The move marks our commitment to Manchester with its international airport, reputation for innovation, thriving construction industry and great universities.
"As the hub for Northern Europe, a more modern head office will allow us to better position Hilti on the international jobs market and attract global talent to come and work with our world class team.
"We considered many office locations, but none met our requirements better than No.1 Circle Square. Our new working environment will feature spacious open areas, encouraging communication and allowing for more flexible, collaborative and modern working."
Circle Square is a joint venture between Bruntwood SciTech and Vita Group, located at the heart of Manchester's Innovation District and sitting on one of the best-connected public transport routes in the North of England.
When complete, Circle Square will include 1,700 homes, 1.2 million sq ft of workspace and over 100,000 sq ft of retail and leisure set around a new city park.
No.1 Circle Square provides 11 floors of office space, a ground floor with open plan retail and community areas and a mezzanine of coworking, events facilities and shared spaces.
Matt Lee, Head of Commercial for Bruntwood SciTech - Manchester, commented: "Circle Square is one of the most sought-after places in Manchester for office space owing to its location and access to the city's finest talent. All of this makes for a connected community of innovative businesses working together to create a world-class digital and tech ecosystem that will lay the groundworks for tomorrow's most exciting companies.
"Hilti choosing Circle Square for their new home after more than 30 years in Trafford is testament to the retail and amenities on offer there as well as Symphony Park, the first and largest new city park for generations. We're looking forward to welcoming them to Circle Square later in the year."
Hilti is expected to move into Circle Square in December 2020, occupying 42,000 sq ft on the second, third and fourth floors of No.1 Circle Square.
