OBI is pleased to have advised on the sale of Queens Court
01 April 2026OBI is pleased to have advised on the sale of Queens Court, paving the way for a full repositioning of this 12,000 sq ft office building at Lincoln Square. The asset has been acquired by Seneca, who will now deliver an extensive refurbishment.
With Manchester Credit Union as the current tenant, the building is ready for transformation. By summer 2026, Seneca will deliver modern 2,500 sq ft floorplates designed to meet the expectations of today’s occupiers.
Scott Gemmell, from OBI’s transactions and asset management team said, “The sale of Queens Court represents a strong repositioning opportunity within Manchester’s prime office core. This sale highlights continued demand for well-located office assets with asset management potential. We were delighted to act on behalf of both Queens Court (Manchester) Properties Limited (Jo Sellick), alongside Ridley Thaw, and it was a pleasure working with Seneca Property Investments to conclude the transaction.”
OBI looks forward to seeing Queens Court’s revival as high-quality workspace in a prime city-centre location.
