Piccadilly Tower, Manchester

In an exciting move for Manchester, the City Council this year granted planning permission for a £220m re-development of a four acre site adjacent to Piccadilly Station, Manchester.

The wholly privately funded scheme by Inacity, one of the region’s leading mixed use developers, will see the transformation of the area between Ducie Street, Jutland Street and Store Street. Comprising a flagship four or five star hotel, leisure space retail units, residential apartments and over 400 public car parking spaces, the 1,025,000 sq ft development will revitalize this under used brownfield land.

Virtual Planit produced the VIA for this development which will dramatically transform and contribute to, Manchester’s ever developing skyline. The striking glass tower which will be one of Europe’s tallest residential buildings, is integral to the scheme and will house the hotel and many apartments.

Virtual Planit also produced online marketing, and an overview of the development on CD.
