Ask:Goodman has welcomed new tenant Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to Madison Place at Central Park. 

The third major office development to be built at the 1.4m sq ft urban business park in East Manchester, Ask:Goodman created Madison Place, a 'village' of five smaller office buildings benefitting from a high specification landscaped setting, totalling 43,700 sq ft.  Ranging in size from 5.304 sq ft to  13,523 sq ft, the offices are ideal for growing businesses looking to occupy premium accommodation and enjoy the facilities and benefits normally only available to larger occupiers on business parks.

The NHS Trust has signed up to take the 7,267 sq ft office on a ten year lease.

The Goodman Property Services team will deliver the interior design and fit out of the new space and provide full faciltiy management services once the NHS takes occupation.  One of Manchester's premier business parks, Central Park has already had notable success in attracting major occupiers, including Fujitsu Services and One Central Park, the 100,000 sq ft educational hub of the business park which comprises the city's three universities, MANCAT (The Manchester College of Arts and Technology) and Manchester Science Park which provides a range of services including vocational training, a business creation uint and research and development facilities.

Leon Guyett, Senior Development Executive at Ask Developments said: "We are delighted to welcome the NHS Trust to Madison Place.  The combination of tailored office space, an excellent location and the forthcoming Metrolink extension, has proved to be a real draw for interested occupiers and we're confident we will be welcoming further tenants to Central Park over the course of the summer."

James Raven, UK Business Parks Development Director at Goodman said: "Having the NHS Trust at Madison Place is a great addition for Central Park.  The high quality contemporary office space will provide an excelletn base for their organiation in what is quickly becoming a dynamic business environment.  The letting is a perfect fit for our business ethos of focusing on quality customers, quality people and quality assets."
