Manchester’s CIS Tower to become £150m ‘vertical district’ 

In 2018, Hewlett Packard Enterprise became the first confirmed tenant of Bruntwood SciTech’s Circle Square in Manchester. Now, years later it has finally moved into its new space.

The architecture firm has taken 18 desks within a serviced suite at Bruntwood Works’ Blackfriars House, its eighth office and second in the North West. 

Four projects in Cumbria, Manchester and Liverpool were among the 54 developments to earn the coveted and prestigious honour.

The landlord of the Oxford Street office block in Manchester plans to revamp its 6,750 sq ft quad, a scheme designed by landscape architect Planit-IE. 

The earlier fire engineers are involved with the design process of a building, the less inherent the risk, writes Darren Agnew of Hydrock.

Eight projects in Manchester, Liverpool and Cumbria earned the prestigious honour, which is decided by a jury of experts.

The craft beer business is to open its Doghouse Hotel Manchester at Bruntwood Works’ Bloc building on 13 August.
