A new sustainable office building will provide c.365,000 sq. ft. of high-quality and flexible workspace, designed to meet the needs of a range of occupiers and bolster Manchester’s already thriving economy. 19 storeys at its highest, the office building employs a radical stepped design, with a cascade of accessible green terraces and rooftop spaces to create a truly unique façade.
Providing 367 new Build-to-Rent homes, the hexagonally designed residential tower steps up from 34 to 45 storeys in height and will become a new landmark on the Manchester skyline. Helping to meet the continued high demand for city centre living, the apartments have been designed with a real focus on quality, with spacious floorplans, plentiful natural light and internal winter garden amenity.
The residential building will also provide a mix of high quality and unique shared amenity spaces to help foster a sense of community and support wellbeing. Plans for a series of dedicated spaces for residents include gym, bouldering wall, rooftop gardens, cinema room and private dining facilities.
A key priority of the development will be to open up access to the riverside and create active ground floor uses. Over 1.2 acres of attractive and welcoming new public realm will include a new public square and an enhanced river walk, complete with woodland glade planting.
