Havelock, Manchester

The scheme took a twenty year old building and re-imagined it for the twenty first century. This provided a dynamic, contemporary and genuinely sustainable workspace for Manchester, in the heart of the city and adjacent to the Rochdale Canal.

We determined that the proposed design, quality, and sustainability credentials could be improved to meet market expectations. By enhancing the existing scheme, we developed a new and thoroughly-evidenced business plan. This took the best of the existing design and improved various features to drive better sustainability (such as Carbon expenditure) and design outcomes.

The project’s delivery was complicated by global events driving cost inflation and supply chain uncertainty. Despite this, flexible and far-sighted planning from our team ensured the development was successfully completed on time and within budget.
