Praxis has commenced a major refurbishment scheme at Dakota House on Concord Business Park near Manchester Airport, with Savills and JLL appointed as joint letting agents.

The 40,000 sq ft (3,715 sq m) vacant office building will undergo significant improvements including a full Category A refurbishment, which is due to be completed in September 2016.  Quoting rents at Dakota House are £16.50 per sq ft (£177.60 per sq m).

Situated 1.5 miles from Manchester Airport, Concord Business Park benefits from the recent Metrolink extension and offers a range of amenities including an on-site restaurant.  Virgin Media and ASE Global are among the major occupiers located there.

James Evans, head of Savills Manchester, comments: “We anticipate strong interest in the refurbished Dakota House, particularly as the supply of high quality office space in the area is so limited.  The quality of the refurbishment, the public transport connections and the on site amenity offer set it apart from competing locations.”
