A new office block planned next to Victoria Station has been redesigned. The second phase of the New Victoria development in Manchester was set to be a predominantly glass building with eight storeys of office floorspace.
But new plans recently submitted to Manchester council reveal a different design with red brick, terracotta dressings and three rooftop terraces. The 10-storey building would be taller than the previous proposal, but offer a similar amount of office floorspace with roof terraces on the top three floors.
It comes nearly nine months after Morgan Capital acquired the site off Corporation Street where 520 apartments are already under construction. The London-based developer then appointed a new design team, led by architect Piercy & Co, to redesign Muse Developments' previous plans.
