The Tootal Buildings (Broadhurst)

About The Tootal Buildings (Broadhurst)

The Tootal Buildings sit at 56 Oxford Street in Manchester city centre, at the start of the Oxford Road corridor, an area known for its concentration of research and knowledge-based businesses. The Grade II listed buildings date from the late 1800s and have been converted into serviced workspace while keeping their period features. Manchester Oxford Road station is about two minutes' walk away, there is a stop at Great Bridgewater Street a minute away, and the NCP car park on Oxford Street is next door for anyone who drives.

The centre offers furnished private serviced offices, alongside private meeting areas and open-plan spaces for less formal meetings. There is also a weekday café and a planted open-air courtyard. Practical support includes a staffed reception, on-site management, call answering, mail handling, cleaning, high-speed internet, phone booths, a kitchen and CCTV, with 24-hour access and disabled facilities. Cyclists get a basement store with 167 spaces, a repair station, lockers and showers.

The building holds a Platinum ActiveScore and a Very Good BREEAM rating, and it uses renewable energy contracts and sends no waste to landfill. That suits businesses with sustainability commitments, staff who cycle in, and firms that want a central Manchester base with a character building.
