Plans have been submitted for two new office blocks at 2 and 3 Angel Square on the NOMA development in Manchester.
The joint venture between the Co-operative Group and Hermes Investment Management is proposing more than 350,000 sq ft of prime office space over nine and 11 storeys, in the 20-acre NOMA neighbourhood.
David Pringle, director of NOMA at the Co-op, said: “We want the whole neighbourhood to be totally cohesive in design terms and 2 and 3 Angel Square will broaden our offer for those businesses who want a more traditional modern office than some of the quirkier reconfigurations we have planned.”
Ben Tolhurst, asset manager at Hermes Investment Management, said: “We are seeing steady growth in Manchester’s commercial appeal. Should these two developments achieve planning permission, it will be an important stage in transforming the city and creating a commercial destination for global businesses.”
The application will be considered later this year, with completion expected in late 2018, subject to approval.
Colliers International is the agent on the scheme.
