4 Angel Square awarded Manchester’s first five-star NABERS

MEPC’s 4 Angel Square has been named the first office building in Manchester to receive five-star NABERS rating. The 200,000 sq ft office building, designed by SimpsonHaugh, is slated for completion this spring. It will use energy efficient air source heat pumps and power generated by inbuilt photovoltaic panels.  Additional features include cycling spaces, electric charging points and a tenth-floor terrace.  The smart-enabled development has already been accredited BREEAM Outstanding in design and is targeting an EPC A rating. Dan Hyde, development director at MEPC, said: “The building will deliver lower occupational costs, as well as future-proofed, cutting-edge design. Given the completion of the building is fast approaching, the first half of 2023 promises to be an exciting time as we build out our plans for 4 Angel Square and the wider NOMA estate.” The office tower forms part of a wider speculative 20-acre masterplan in Manchester city centre, with plans also underway for 2 and 3 Angel Square.
