The site is located next to the prime Spinningfields business district and close to the former Granada TV studios which is currently awaiting redevelopment.The plans, on behalf of the West Midlands Pension Fund, involve the demolition of Astley and Byrom House on Quay Street.

The proposed new building will be divided into three blocks and have a stepped design, ranging from 8-storeys to its full height.

The ground floor includes a retail and leisure element which will bring a range of new shops, restaurants and bars to the district along with meeting the demand for high quality Grade A  office space. Overall it is hoped that the scheme could create many as 2,500 jobs.

The planning application will be considered by Manchester City Council next month.
