Activewear retailer beefs up presence at Manchester’s NOMA

Clothing retailer Adanola has increased its footprint by 50% at the Grade II-listed Dantzic Building on Hanover Street in Manchester.  The 1930s building forms part of the NOMA development, owned by Federated Hermes, with MEPC acting as asset manager. The office block, which was redeveloped in 2019, comprises 45,000 sq ft of workspace across six floors. Adanola has taken 6,500 sq ft of space. This is in addition to the 13,000 sq ft it took on a five-year lease last October. Market sources said the building commands £25 per sq ft. Paul Pavia, asset manager at NOMA, said: “Adanola’s growth here, alongside Allpress Espresso and Tom Barnes’s restaurant Skof, is testament to our long-term investment strategy for NOMA where there is a blend of the old and the new, a buzzing events programme and digital and transport connectivity.” Colliers and JLL are letting agents for NOMA.
