Kylie hit factory now available as office space

The recording studio which helped launch Kylie Minogue’s chart-topping pop career has been re-launched as office space.

The Grade II-Listed Chapel at 378 Deansgate, built in 1858, became a ‘hit factory’ for the Stock Aitken and Waterman pop production team back in the 1980s

The trio based their recording studio there when they were working with artists including Kylie and Rick Astley.

Now, M20, who bought the Chapel earlier this year, are marketing it as prime city centre office space.

Refurbishments include a large outdoor area for occupiers to use, with many original features of the building retained. It would suit a single occupier, although the space could be split to accommodate two separate office units.There are also parking spaces for 20 vehicles.

Peter Quinn, of M20, said: “The Chapel is one of the most recognisable buildings in Manchester and we’re very pleased to bring it back into use.

“It’s in a one-off location situated were you can sit at your desk while looking over historic Castlefield, then step outside and enjoy a BBQ on the decking or sunbathe on the grass next to the canal.”

Emma Powell, surveyor at OBI Property, who are marketing the building, said: “The Chapel would make a great headquarters for any business locating into Manchester. We’ve already received several positive enquiries about the space.”

OBI Property are joint agents with Matthews & Goodman.
