Managed office space in MediaCity
A private, self-contained floor or suite fitted out to your brand and layout, but delivered and run by an operator or landlord on a single monthly fee. It sits between a serviced office and a lease: your own space and identity, none of the capital outlay or dilapidations risk. In MediaCity expect an indicative £260–£400 per desk per month, a short walk from MediaCityUK.
The area
Why MediaCity for managed office space?
A waterside campus at Salford Quays built around the BBC and ITV, with modern buildings, studios and the cheapest grade-A desks in Greater Manchester.
Broadcast, production, digital agencies, gaming and the supply chain around the two broadcasters.
Around 30% below Spinningfields for newer space. For occupiers searching office space to rent in MediaCity, private office MediaCity, or office space near MediaCityUK, the trade-off is straightforward: this district's rate reflects its address and transport, and stepping one district out reliably reduces it.

Important: where this page uses the words “rent”, “rental”, “lease” or “let” to describe workspace, those terms are used for descriptive and search purposes only. The agreement offered by flexible workspace operators is a licence to occupy, not a lease or tenancy, and it does not confer security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
