A Manchester-based property company has completed the relocation of its head office to the city's Northern Quarter.
CERT Property has taken the entire fourth floor of Hilton House, an area of some 4,200sq ft.
The company has made the move from The Courtyard at Royal Mills, which it sold in 2019, and first announced plans to relocate at the start of February.
The redevelopment Hilton House was completed in the midst of the pandemic and has already secured a 70% occupancy with architects Hawkins Brown, Telcom and Feel Good Club choosing the property as their new home.
CERT employs a team of 30 across the business, working on site, at home and now at Hilton House.
Managing director Howard Lord said: "Moving into Hilton House was the perfect move for us. We have all fallen in love with the building during the course of the redevelopment of it.
"Beyond this it offers the perfect location, architecture and space for us.
"We’ve made our floor our own and it has given us the opportunity to set out what we believe the post-pandemic office looks and feels like.
"Hilton House represents yet another success story through adversity during the pandemic. To reach 70% occupancy at a time when many have spoken about the demise of the office is a testament to the quality of spaces we are providing at Hilton House but is perhaps also indicative of the wider demand within the Manchester office market and a telling proof that the office is far from dead, but perhaps just needed to evolve.
"We have a clear vision on what a modern office space should offer right now and in the future, incorporating facilities, high specification tech, encouraging total autonomy and flexibility for the tenant and offering complete accessibility.
"Office space will continue to play an important part in the evolution of UK business but we must adapt and recognise imminent and future changing needs to make that space work.
"For us, we remain committed to Build Back Better and we will continue to deliver beautiful and relevant commercial and residential projects across the North West."
