Big changes in city centre square as office and restaurant plan tweaked

A fresh design has been revealed by the developer

Plans for a new office block in an old Manchester city centre square have been scaled back. The fresh plans for the Parsonage Gardens plot would see a 13-storey office block with a restaurant replace two existing buildings on the site.

Parsonage Gardens is considered a conservation area due to its history which dates back hundreds of years. The first recorded reference to the plot of land now known as Parsonage Gardens was in 1066, after the Norman Conquest.Working with architects Squire and Partners, the developer says the new design for the One North Parade scheme, which is smaller in scale, takes inspiration from the historic architecture of the surrounding area, making it 'distinctive without being overbearing'.

Beaconsfield Commercial director Stewart Houlgrave said: "We’re delighted to unveil this elegant, unique and sympathetic design for One North Parade by Squire and Partners. Investment is crucial to realising the full potential of this important site, providing modern, sustainable office space to attract and retain occupiers.
