PRUPIM submits plans to redevelop Manchester offices
New 150,000 sq ft Grade A office space at Brazennose House
Article posted: 06 Aug 2011
Investment manager PRUPIM has submitted plans for the redevelopment of Brazennose House to create 150,000 sq ft of new Grade A office space in Manchester city centre.
The 1960s building will be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use scheme which will also include 3,600 sq ft of retail space along with 4,800 sq ft of restaurants on the ground floor.
Situated overlooking Lincoln Square, Brazennose House occupies a prime city centre location in between Manchester’s busy Deansgate and the bustling Central Business District. Currently it is largely empty, unattractive to modern day tenants owing to its poor internal and external structure.
In addition to the new building, designs are also focussed on improving the setting and views of the neighbouring St Mary’s Church.
William Rooke, development manager at PRUPIM, told TheBusinessDesk: “This site provides yet another jigsaw piece in support of the City’s regeneration strategy and inward investment objectives.
"The influx of some 1,250 new employees in the redeveloped Brazennose House will have a hugely positive regenerative effect on this important commercial area; the area is now looking tired and has, to a certain extent, evolved predominantly into a through-route.
“As well as meeting the next wave of demand for prime office space and headquarters for corporate occupiers in the city centre, this area will be reinvigorated by much-needed improvements to the public realm of Lincoln Square and with the new piazza. We want to create a destination for business, fitting for the scheme’s prime city centre location.”
