Newflex have partnered with Serendipity Labs, one of the fastest growing upscale workspace brands in the U.S., to officially open Serendipity Labs Manchester Exchange Quay – a premier 24,000 sq. ft flexible workplace across all five floors of the landmark 7 Exchange Quay in Manchester this November.

 

The beautifully designed, state-of-the-art flexible office space provides an inspiring environment for individuals and businesses to thrive, with full floor opportunities for larger teams, drop-in co-working membership plans plus meeting and event space. There are also a range of work lounges, the Lab Café, wellness rooms and retreats, while an on-site full-service hospitality team will ensure a seamless and personalised service for members and their clients.

 

There will also be a programme of networking events and seminars designed to connect and empower member businesses, who can also benefit from wider on-site Exchange Quay amenities including a cycle hub, EV charging pods, nursery, gym, post office, restaurant and bar.

 

Serendipity Labs Manchester Exchange Quay enjoys an exceptional location in the heart of Salford Quays, with a range of amenities on the doorstep as well as being just a minute walk to Exchange Quay Metrolink which provides fast access across Manchester including MediaCityUK in seven minutes and the city centre in eight minutes. The M60 motorway is also easily accessed for further travel needs.

 

Companies of all sizes make up the membership including multinationals that rely on Serendipity Labs for outsourced offices as well as those who are now free to choose where and how they work.

 

John Arenas, CEO of Serendipity Labs, comments: “This is a landmark moment for Serendipity Labs, bringing our proven enterprise workplace offering to Manchester’s ever evolving business community. Companies are realigning how they use workplaces to meet the requirements of the workforce today. Demand for flex space has never been higher and working with NewFlex, we look forward to opening our doors in this exceptional location.”

 

Steve Jude, CEO of NewFlex comments: “Manchester is a fitting home for the first Serendipity Labs to open in the U.K., catering to those that seek flexible and agile workspaces for the modern world of work. There is an exceptionally strong local economy here with new opportunities and high levels of public and private investment which ensure it will continue to grow from strength to strength. We look forward to further expansion for the Serendipity Labs brand in the U.K.”

 

Les Lang, from Till Asset Management comments: “We recognised the need to increase the offer at Exchange Quay by offering co-working space for corporate occupiers. We spent some considerable time searching for the right operator, and the right brand to complement what is already a very special campus. We needed to work with people who had the same ambition and ethos as Exchange Quay. We are delighted to be working with NewFlex and to have attracted a quality American brand in Serendipity Labs for whom this will be their first European Centre. In order to ensure we have the optimum quality we have completely stripped and refurbished the building with an investment of over £3m, with an end result showing not only quality finishes, but excellence in respect of energy efficiency and acoustic qualities. Exchange Quay is the best office campus in Manchester and Serendipity Labs will make it even better.”
