Tesco signs up for more space in Manchester

By BY Simon Binns

Tesco Express and IBM have both been signed up as new tenants at Maybrook House on the corner of Blackfriars Street and Deansgate in Manchester city centre.

Michael Lopian, a partner at Lopian Wagner Solicitors, acted for Manchester-based property firm Arbela on the lease deals.

Tesco Express will take 4,600 sq ft on the ground floor and IBM who have taken 11,500 sq ft in the building.

Lopian said: “My clients are pleased with the substantial covenants coming in to Maybrook House. I have dealt with a number of supermarket retailers in the past and whilst negotiations are never easy it is always a relief when the deal is finally done.”

Tesco expect to be open for the Christmas trade. This will be their first store on Deansgate.
