The BDP Studio, designed by BDP Architects, is recognised as the first naturally ventilated office building in Manchester to achieve a BREEAM excellent rating and has also been certified as a carbon neutral development. The design embraces a number of key sustainable features, including: a high quality concrete frame with exposed soffits providing thermal mass; night time cooling via hoppers controlled by the BMS system; natural ventilation and a living roof (a habitat for the endangered Redstart birds).

Carver’s Warehouse is the oldest surviving warehouse and the only stone built one within Manchester City Centre. Restored and converted to offices in 2008 it ranks as one of the most important buildings in Manchester’s Industrial Heritage. The building’s potential to provide high quality office accommodation with great character has been realised and provides a positive contribution to the developing Piccadilly Basin. Comprising six floors of offices with a ground floor deli café the property is substantially let to a variety of office users.
