An edgy central Manchester district, the Northern Quarter offers consumers an escape from the mainstream. The area is home to an eclectic mix of independent retailers, craft centres, new media businesses, digital agencies, galleries, bars and restaurants – vibrant and energetic, the Northern Quarter has become the area to live, work and play in Manchester city centre.
Situated just off Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter, the Hive is close enough to Manchester city centre, at just a two minute walk from some of the main retail and business locations, to be a lucrative and convenient prospect for businesses seeking creative, contemporary offices, and yet far enough away to represent a true alternative to the typical city centre office space.
Manchester is home to a diverse mixture of old and new, with innovative contemporary architecture sitting comfortably alongside the grand buildings of its proud industrial past.
Centred on 'The Street', The Hive is located in an area of Manchester city centre that is itself, steeped in history - during the 19th Century the square was popular with open-air speakers, and is still often referred to as Speakers' Corner.
Manchester is also home to a thriving independent and creative business and social scene, with the Northern Quarter acting as the epicentre. Known as the 'original modern' city, Manchester has always been at the leading edge of innovation and creativity.
The Hive is easily accessible to all major road and rail networks with the city's two main stations, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria, both around ten minutes walk away.
If you're interested in the creative and new media offices, retail units or workspace in the Hive, or you'd simply like to see the building and the Northern Quarter first hand, feel free to contact us or call 0161 236 1878.
We're in the thick of it; Piccadilly Gardens, the Arndale Centre and the Printworks are all close by.
