Discover Fabrica
Fabrica sits right on the edge of New Islington; a 24,000 sqft building that was once part of Manchester's industrial fabric, now reimagined as four floors of flexible workspace.
Inside, you'll find everything from single desks to entire private floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with proper natural light, meeting rooms and an iconic presentation space for up to 50.
It's built for businesses who want a base in one of the city's most talked-about neighbourhoods, without giving up the amenities of a city-centre HQ.
