Aviva Investors, acting for Aviva Life & Pensions, has started a major refurbishment scheme at 11 Portland Street, Manchester.
The 165,000 sq ft building, formerly known as Westminster House, is located near Piccadilly Gardens in the city centre.
Plans include a new reception area on the corner of Portland Street and Aytoun Street; as well as the replacement of the entire glazing system to transform the external appearance of the building.
Internally, offices will be upgraded, new cycle racks and showers will be added and the central courtyard will also be refurbished.
James Evans, head of Savills Manchester, said: “Given the continued under supply of high-quality refurbishments within Manchester city centre and consistent strong demand, we are confident this significant project will be extremely successful at attracting high-quality occupiers.”
Savills and Cushman & Wakefield are joint letting agents.
