Eden to launch move-in ready workspace for growing businesses

Award-winning Eden, a £36 million, 115,000 sq. ft, 12-storey workplace in Salford’s New Bailey, is set to launch a new fitted and furnished suite this March in response to growing market demand for high-quality, move-in ready office space.

Covering 5,134 sq.ft, the open-plan workspace will comprise a ready-to-occupy office complete with approximately 50 fixed work stations; board and meeting rooms; kitchen and dining space; pods and booths for focused working; and touchdown workspaces crafted for collaboration.

Already home to law firm TLT and accountancy and business advisory firm BDO – who both designed their office spaces from a blank canvas – this move by ECF to offer a fitted and furnished workspace in Eden reflects shifts in occupier expectations. It provides a flexible, lower-risk option for growing SMEs and established businesses alike, enabling them to occupy space quickly while benefiting from Eden’s design-led and sustainability-focused credentials.

Furnished office space provides an affordable alternative to traditional fit-out routes with furniture and equipment typically accounting for *15-20% of a fit-out budget, whereas a furnished workspace allows businesses to avoid this capital cost. Move-in ready space also lowers upfront costs and provides the flexibility of shorter lease terms.

Being net zero carbon in operation, Eden also offers up to a 60% reduction in operational costs compared to a standard Grade A office.

Fit-out specialist Overbury is leading on the design of the workspace which will be furnished to a high specification, in-keeping with the levels of quality and attention to detail with which Eden was delivered by ECF – a partnership comprising Muse, L&G, and Homes England.

Any business thinking of making the move to Eden will enjoy the range of benefits that come from working in one of the UK’s most sustainable office buildings, designed with both people and the planet in mind.

What else does Eden have to offer?

The building embraces the WELL Building Standard Principles and boasts the highest NABERS UK Design Reviewed Target Rating for a new-build development in the UK of 5.5, while a range of features combine to support healthier, more productive ways of working.

These include enhanced fresh air rates to help boost cognitive function; cycle storage for 156 bikes alongside showers, changing and drying rooms to promote active travel; and the provision of both a yoga studio and contemplation space on the ground floor which are perfect for taking a break from busy work schedules.

Elsewhere there is a spectacular roof terrace which is ideal for informal meetings, team gatherings or hosting client events, while Eden is also home to its very own on-site café – Spice and Grind – which serves delicious breakfasts, lunches, snacks and artisan drinks.

A curated programme of activities, including yoga classes, networking events and seasonal activities, helps foster a strong sense of community among occupiers and the wider neighbourhood too.

Another jewel in Eden’s crown is its famous exterior living wall – home to 350,000 plants – which delivers biophilic health and wellbeing benefits to occupants and provides a boost to local biodiversity.

Situated in the heart of the thriving New Bailey business community, Eden is just a five-minute walk from Salford Central train station and a 10-minute walk from both St Peter’s Square and Deansgate Metrolink. It is also close to the vibrant St John’s community which comprises a variety of restaurants and bars alongside the renowned Aviva Studios and Soho House.
