Major Refurb Announced For Manchester City Tower

The City Tower in Manchester city centre is to undergo a major refurbishment of its ground floor and reception areas, including the creation of new meeting space. The Tower, based in Piccadilly Gardens, will feature an improved atrium space and a new business lounge with meeting space and booths, alongside additional catering and retail units. Existing meeting space includes the Red Rooms, which offer views across the city and which cater for up to 150 delegates. The refurbishment is expected to take around 6 months to complete and will be designed by ID:ER, the arm of Sheppard Robson. Schroders announced plans to invest in the building after buying it from family property firm Bruntwood last may.
