Developer Allied London has appointed BAM Construction to deliver its £73 million design and build contract for No.1 Spinningfields, Quay Street, in Manchester.

Set within the heart of Spinningfields, Manchester’s premium business district, the impressive 24 storey building is set to deliver a world-class business environment and will be the finest and highest specified building in Manchester.

Designed with true flexibility, amenity and choice in mind, the office development has over 260,000 sq ft of space and floor plates of up to 25,000 sq ft.

The Grade A office accommodation includes ground floor and mezzanine reception areas, which will provide space for restaurants, cafés and a business lounge.

The roof-top restaurant of 6,738 sq ft will open onto a garden terrace. The two basement levels have parking for 115 cars, 10 motorcycles and secure storage for 120 bicycles with showers and lockers provided.

Chief Executive of Allied London, Michael Ingall said: “Spinningfields is now established as the heart of Manchester’s business district, and with new developments under construction, we aim to bring more high profile businesses to the city.

“No.1 Spinningfields takes the amenity available for occupiers and visitors to another level whilst providing an iconic backdrop to the popular Hardman Square. We are looking forward to delivering this landmark building with BAM and completing our Spinningfields masterplan.”

This striking glazed façade building will be constructed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. The development comprises a podium that dramatically cantilevers over Quay Street and Byrom Street, with a smaller cantilever over the Hardman Square entrance, which further enhances the public realm aspect.
