THE BUILDINGS /

1 Hardman Square

1 Hardman Square is a Foster and Partners designed office tower and luxury hotel to be developed in its own defined area of public realm. A 200 bedroom five star hotel will occupy the top floors in the building with panoramic views of the city.

Capable of providing a multitude of entrances and lobbies for occupiers, this building will contain some 650,000 sq ft of column free floor plates of approximately 20,000 sq ft.

The building will provide for significant drama at ground floor level with a double height entrance lobby with the various lift banks being accessed either from the ground or via a series of escalators depending on which part of the building is being accessed.

A full range of shopping and restaurant facilities are proposed around Hardman Square, which in itself will be one of the largest areas of public realm within Manchester.
