Question 4

How do I book a tour of Colony Cowork in Manchester?

Accepted Answer

To tour a Colony Cowork building in Manchester, enquire on the listing for the building you want and the operator confirms a viewing time.

Question 5

How much does office space cost per desk in Manchester?

Accepted Answer

Across the offices COLONY COWORK lists in Manchester and the rest of the United Kingdom, the average is GBP 361 per desk per month, with furnished space, internet, utilities and cleaning inside that figure. A conventional lease quotes rent by floor area and adds fit-out, service charge and local taxes on top, usually for several years, so the two are not directly comparable on headline rent alone.

Question 6

How much does Colony Cowork office space cost in Manchester?

Accepted Answer

Colony Cowork space in Manchester averages GBP 361 per desk per month across its 200 listings on Office Hub, which are private offices, enterprise suites and a managed office.

The average covers all three space types, so the price of a given office depends on its size and building, and each listing shows its own price. Colony's own site says private office prices are available on request.
