Mastering the brief as architects for commercial units in Leigh, Greater Manchester

The businesses driving Leigh’s prosperity today are more diverse than ever, so our modern commercial unit designs are planned with a broad spectrum of possible uses in mind, so that not only do they reflect the vibrant mix of tenants in the current market, but also have one eye on their ability to support and satisfy the needs of the next generation of entrepreneurs.

PAB Architects’ in-house team of architects, interior design and project management experts in Leigh, Greater Manchester, has built a deep knowledge of what investment businesses look for from their commercial units, and combine this with architectural designs which capture the imagination of local businesses.

Today, our commercial units and business parks at Acorn Court and Moss Industrial Estate in Leigh are both well-established, busy sites whose success has seen them expand beyond their original scope, attracting new investment to the town and sparking the creation of new work and economic opportunities.

Our commercial unit architect portfolio: Showpiece new plumbing & heating showroom for growing local retailer

After more than 30 years serving the local community, our client had outgrown its previous commercial unit in Leigh and needed to extend its original site so it could increase its range of home improvement product displays and add to its warehouse space to accommodate expanding ranges.

As PAB Architects had undertaken the design of the original commercial unit, our main priority in managing the commercial unit’s extension and redevelopment was to ensure continuity and consistency in our design to preserve the character of the building and the area.

The extended showroom in Leigh, housed in bespoke-designed commercial unit premises by PAB Architects, ensures that the business is fully set to build on its past success, from a base that meets the operational needs of the business and which does justice to the impressive set-piece and product displays inside.
