Situated at the corner of Deansgate and Quay Street, Corner Block is a Grade A, design-led workspace blending heritage elements with contemporary glazed façades. It offers high-specification fit-outs (VRF air conditioning, LED lighting, full concierge service, showers, cycle storage, and complimentary reception Wi‑Fi), ideal for modern occupiers seeking plug-and-play solutions in the heart of the city centre.
 
WPS will move into a fully fitted suite that exemplifies our strategy of forward funding high quality speculative lettings. This delivers immediate, low-risk, flexible spaces that meet the evolving needs of professional users and add tangible value to the building. The space will serve as hub in the north for WPS Facilities Management, underscoring Corner Block’s ability to attract high-profile occupiers with critical operational functions.
 
Commenting on the deal, Adam Handley, Asset Manager at Catella APAM, said:
“We’re pleased to welcome WPSs to Corner Block. Their decision to establish a northern hub here speaks to the quality of the space and the strength of Catella APAM’s fully integrated fund, asset, property, and facilities management model, which continues to deliver consistent performance for Britannia across its UK portfolio.”
 
Sixteen Real Estate acted on behalf of the landlord whilst Savills represented the tenant.

Scott Shufflebottom, Director at Sixteen Real Estate, said:
“Securing Wates following a string of recent lettings in the building is testament to the quality of the product delivered by Catella APAM and the sought after location of the asset.”
