Textured and industrial, metalwork and glass, daylight spilling in from all angles and floor to ceiling heights worthy of a warehouse building; Manchester Goods Yard will be a place of real enterprise, it’s the epitome of modern working at the centre of the new St. John’s neighbourhood.
24/7 life and activity will be the backbone of the building, a hive of activity at the centre of St. John’s. The distinctive design of the building centres on workspaces that function in dynamic and flexible ways, all are complemented by live/work units at the top and retail/commercial units at ground level. This horizontal layering of uses creates a building that is agile and adaptable, both now and in the future.
