Castlebrooke Investments has submitted plans to refurbish Manchester’s Grade II listed CIS Tower.
The CIS Tower is located in Manchester city centre, forming part of NOMA, and contains a total of 620,000 sq ft of mixed-use space, including 420,000 sq ft of net lettable space across 26 floors, as well as provision for retail and leisure uses at basement and ground level.
“Submission of the planning application for the CIS Tower marks an important milestone in the delivery of this project and bolsters our continued commitment to Manchester,” said Neil Young, Castlebrooke’s chief executive. “Drawing on our experience of creating vibrant, mixed-use spaces in city centres; we will respect the heritage of the building that dates back to 1962, yet create a more sustainable environment that is future ready.”
Estelle Hunt, director at Castlebrooke, added: “No other 1960s listed building of this scale has been refurbished to this extent before in the UK and we believe this to be a truly unique proposal.”
A decision on the planning application is expected by April 2020 and subject to consent, construction will begin in 2021.
