Allied London is to open events hub XYZ Studio, the Cotton Building development, in Spinningfields in Manchester this October.
The developer said the studio, which will have its own events team and events programme, will help set the tone for the 160,000 sq ft XYZ building that is due to be completed in 2016.
It will boast more than 30,000 sq ft of public amenity space including cafes, restaurants, meeting spaces, a bike park, leisure facilities, indoor gardens and a wellbeing centre.
XYZ will also provide a vibrant and stimulating workplace that will further enhance the Spinningfields’ offering.
