Kinrise hands off major office refurbs in Manchester and Liverpool
Investor Karrev, which owns Martins Bank and Sunlight House, will now look for contractors for the projects after the developer took them through planning.
Kinrise is no longer involved in the two major refurbishment projects in Manchester and Liverpool.
The developer and Karrev, which spent around £60m on the two heritage buildings, have mutually agreed to part ways, according to Kinrise.
Kinrise drew up plans for the comprehensive redevelopment of both Sunlight House in Manchester and Martins Bank in Liverpool. Tenders for the main works packages are due out soon.
The Martins Bank project in particular was greeted with excitement as it aims to bring back into use one of Liverpool’s most famous buildings, which has been vacant for more than a decade.
The proposals will also provide some much-needed Grade A office space in Liverpool.
In Manchester, the overhaul of Sunlight House was granted planning approval last summer. Kinrise also secured a £27m facility from Trafford Council to carry out the project.
