Bruntwood unveils redevelopment plans for flagship Pioneer building

Bruntwood has submitted plans to redevelop Alberton House, in Manchester city centre, into a workspace and leisure hub. The developer is seeking to replace the existing building at 30 St Mary’s Parsonage with an 18-storey office tower featuring rooftop pool, hot and cold treatment rooms, fitness studio, yoga terrace, physio room, and changing and shower facilities. On the 17th floor, Bruntwood plans a landscaped panoramic roof terrace with views across the city, a gym and a food and beverage outlet. On the lower ground floor, there will be a cycle hub with showers, changing and vanity areas, lockers and cycle storage, including Brompton bike lockers. Bruntwood Works is set to develop and deliver the building, designed by EPR Architects, which will become the flagship in its Pioneer programme. Ciara Keeling, chief executive of Bruntwood Works, said: “We understand that the way we work and live has changed for the long term, so we wanted to give our customers a space that suits their changing needs and helps to promote a working environment where they can thrive professionally but also personally.” To send feedback, e-mail evelina.grecenko@eg.co.uk or tweet @Gre_Eve or @EGPropertyNews Click here to view other planning applications in Manchester >> Photos © Bruntwood
