MANCHESTER’S LARGEST OFFICE SCHEME IN RECENT TIMES
 
1 November 2005
 
Roger Preston & Partners’ already significant involvement in the Spinningfields development increases as Allied London unveils plans for Manchester’s largest office scheme of recent times.
Building services, vertical transportation and fire strategy advice has been provided to date to support an application for the 460,000 sq ft building at 3 Hardman Street – to be known simply as HQ. It will include 426,000 sq ft of top quality office space and 30,000 sq ft of retail. Construction is due to start in September 2006.

There will be four blocks of between 10 and 15 storeys, each with a self-contained entrance lobby and with floorplates of up to 36,000 sq ft.

HQ – designed by Sheppard Robson specifically for financial occupiers – will house Barclaycard, which last week agreed to take up to 100,000 sq ft at Spinningfields.

The design for this building follows on from our successful involvement on the adjacent 3 & 4 Hardman Square developments.
