Municipal Building Annexe, Earle Street, Crewe, CW1 2BJ

An opportunity has arisen for a serviced office/co-working operator to take a lease on the 16,304 sq ft (NIA) Municipal Building annexe in Crewe. The annexe currently provides primarily open plan offices and Cheshire East Council intends to comprehensively refurbish and re-model this space into a high quality serviced office/co-working facility.

The Pandemic has shown a change to working patterns with many people now working from home. The Council is keen to become part of this growing market, drawing people back into Crewe Town Centre and offering the opportunity for start-up businesses to grow and have an office / studio base.

The Council is inviting proposals to take a lease on the premises for a serviced office/co-working use. Prior to granting the lease, the Council will undertake the refurbishment and remodelling works to the premises (between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024) to create what will be a high quality 'turn-key' co-working/serviced office product.

The premises are centrally located within Crewe Town Centre and benefit from a prominent location on the corner of Heath Street and Vernon Way within Crewe Town Centre. Crewe is a town in South Cheshire which has a resident population of 76,437 (2021 census).

The premises are within close proximity to a number of leisure/cultural assets being immediately adjacent to the newly refurbished Crewe Market Hall, the Lyceum Theatre and LY2 Crewe Lyceum Square event space. The premises are also located equidistant between the Town Centre and Grand Junction Retail Park and within close proximity to the proposed Crewe History Centre.

Crewe is situated approximately 19 miles southeast of Chester, 27 miles south of Manchester and 12 miles northwest of Stoke-on-Trent. The town benefits from excellent transports links, including Crewe Railway Station (to be upgraded into the HS2 Crewe Hub) and access to the motorway network via Junctions 16 and 17 of the M6 Motorway (approximately 5 miles distant).
