Manchester based independent real estate firm OBI Property celebrates its sixth birthday on 1 February.  The firm has more than doubled the size of its office (from 1,500 sq ft to 3,300 sq ft) and created Clockwork, a new amenity space for its visiting clients and friends use.

OBI Property has grown steadily over the past six years and is now a team of 18. It is an established real estate consultancy which provides innovative solutions to its landlord and occupier clients which include AO.com, NCC Group, Rentalcars.com, Allied London, LJ Partnership, British Airways and CBRE Global Investors.

Andrew Cowell, Transactions and Asset Management Team, OBI Property said:  “The success of the business is down to the strength of our award-winning team.  We provide the best advice when our clients engage us across our multi-discipline services which include interior design, project management, dilapidations, ratings, leasing and investment consultancy.  We call the collection of our services the OBI Difference.

“We are obsessed with delivering quality throughout every touch point of the business.  We are here to disrupt the conventional approach to real estate, we are proudly independent and apply the OBI Difference to everything we do.”

With views over St Peter’s Square, the new fit out at OBI’s office at 80 Mosley Street includes more meeting rooms, a design hub, quiet booths and the new Clockwork concept. Clockwork is a touchdown space for visiting clients to work, host meetings, utilise the bar facilities or simply relax.

Andy Crompton, Workplace Consultancy Team, OBI Property said:  “With the extension to the office we decided we wanted to create a place which our clients and friends could think of as their own.  Everyone in the team had input into the design of the new office and we surveyed a number of our clients to establish what they would value from our Clockwork concept.  We want the new workspace to be a hive of activity throughout the week.”
