Manchester-based flexible workspace provider Orbit Spaces is backing the city’s growing business community with a major expansion at 55 King Street, set to open ahead of an official launch event in June 2026.
The expansion will create a premium, central business hub designed to support the diverse needs of Manchester’s growing professional community. The newly developed space will include a large multipurpose event venue, high-quality meeting rooms, dedicated coworking desks and a collaborative lounge area, giving businesses, freelancers and teams a flexible environment to meet, work, host events and connect in central Manchester.
The development comes at a time when Manchester businesses are increasingly prioritising flexibility, particularly when paired with a high-quality, professionally managed environment. According to Orbit Spaces, many local organisations no longer want the burden of managing space themselves, instead valuing well-designed, multi-use environments where everything is taken care of — allowing teams to focus on productivity, collaboration and growth.
Kieran Jones, co-founder of Orbit Spaces, said: “It’s really important to us to create spaces that local businesses and our existing clients can both make use of. This expansion into Manchester city centre, in the prestigious 55 King Street building, gives us exactly that — an opportunity to bring everything that makes Orbit Spaces great to local clients and businesses.”
Demand for the existing 55 King Street facility has grown steadily and significantly since the first meeting room opened. At peak times, this has meant some customers have been unable to secure space when they need it most. The expansion directly addresses that demand by increasing capacity and introducing a wider range of workspace options, many of which have already proven popular at Orbit’s other locations, allowing the team to better support existing clients while welcoming new members into the Orbit community.
Manchester’s business community is invited to the official launch event at 55 King Street this June, where guests can expect guided tours of the newly expanded space, opportunities to network with other local businesses and the team behind the project, refreshments throughout the event, and exclusive introductory offers available only to those in attendance.
To attend the launch event or learn more about the expanded 55 King Street site, businesses and individuals are encouraged to contact the Orbit Spaces team.
