Flexible office space, industrial & storage units for rent in Manchester
Formerly the site of the Empress Brewery, BizSpace Manchester Old Trafford has been meticulously restored to create a high-quality, flexible workspace. With its Victorian charm intact – vaulted ceilings, wrought iron staircases, pillars and exposed brickwork – the centre provides our customers with 24-hour access to a quirky and characterful workplace.
Here at the Empress Business Centre we offer first-class, modern facilities, with units that suit businesses of all sizes, ranging from 110 to 4,348 sq ft. There is also on-site parking for customers and visitors, a dedicated on-site team and specialist catering, all within a stone’s throw of Manchester City Centre.
Located just 5 minutes drive out of Manchester city centre, our Old Trafford site is sandwiched between the centre of town, Salford Quays and Trafford Park, with great road access.
We’re just off the A56 with direct access to the M60, M602 and M62, each accessible within 10 minutes.
We’ve got great access to public transport and the Metrolink, with Cornbrook tram station is just 8 minutes walk away. Bus numbers 84, 255 and 256 stop nearby, and Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Road Station are both within a mile.
We have several offices to rent spread over six floors. Our workspaces range in size from 120 square feet, suitable for small teams between one and three people, up to 2,000 square feet, ideal for larger teams of up to 50 people. Our offices are bright and airy, with plenty of natural light. Some of our offices are managed, meaning they come unfurnished. A managed office is a blank canvas, allowing you to customise your space to your exact taste. Our flexible terms mean you can rent a space on a short-term licence agreement starting from just 12 months or a multi-year lease if you prefer.

We also provide serviced offices too. These are ideal for any business that wants to get it and get going with everything looked after and without the fuss and downtime.
