The Co-op has launched The Federation, a new co-working community in the heart of Manchester attracting digital businesses and innovators sharing its ethical values.
The Federation is part of the NOMA redevelopment of Manchester City Centre and the Co-op has taken the leases on eight floors totalling 8,100 sq feet at the former textile warehouse on Federation St. £1.59 million has been invested to fit out the space, with a further £0.5m in ‘start up’ operating costs. The Federation is already 75% occupied, with no active marketing or agent. The first two floors offer flexible desk space, 13 private offices, meeting rooms, a coffee shop and event space offering preferential rates and a Co-op support network.
