The Offices
Stephen set up a serviced office company called The Offices in 2009. Initially the business was set up to occupy vacant accommodation within Vision’s property portfolio, but now a business in its own right. The Offices property portfolio includes a range of both high-end and strikingly unusual solutions that are flexible yet practical enough to meet the needs of any firm searching for high-quality office space in Manchester.
The Offices work hard to ensure businesses get up and running as hassle-free as possible, providing all the furniture and fittings required, right down to telephone handsets. One of the office centres is in Barton Arcade, Deansgate. Barton Arcade dates back to 1871 and features a variety of boutique shops and offices within a stunning Grade II listed Victorian cast iron and glass structure.
Stephen sold his shares in The Offices in 2016 to concentrate on new ventures.

53 King Street
53 King Street is a landmark property located at the heart of Manchester’s prime office core. It comprises of two separately accessed, but interlinked buildings which were built bespoke for Lloyds Bank and total approximately 43,000 sq ft (NIA). The construction was completed in 1913 and designed by Charles Heathcote. The building is Grade II listed with particular significance attached to the façade, the banking hall and the tiling around the common areas of the offices.
Lloyds TSB owned the property until 1995 when it was subject to a sale and leaseback deal. Vision acquired the property in March 2009. In common with the ethos of Vision Developments a new 5 year lease to Lloyds was entered into to enable short term income to be received whilst planning consent was obtained for a change of use and reconfiguration works within the basement, ground and first floor to retail/leisure.
With the benefit of planning two new leases have been entered into with restaurants on the ground floor namely Miller & Carter and Zizzi. The upper floors have been let to a serviced office company set up by Stephen called The Offices.

Bradley's Court
The proposed seven storey building – named Bradley’s Court – is situated adjacent to Manchester Hall (formerly the Freemasons Hall) and is one of the last void sites in the core of Manchester city centre. It will provide 37,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation and 3,000 sq ft of retail/restaurant space on the ground floor. One of the upper floors will benefit from a generous set back providing a panoramic roofline view of Manchester from the terrace. The development site has been vacant since the site was cleared of buildings around 60 years ago. Historic records show that there was previously a courtyard on the site, which was accessed by covered passages from Bridge Street and Wood Street. -
