1 Hardman Square, Commercial high-rise building in Spinningfields district, Manchester, England
1 Hardman Square is a modern office tower with twenty floors in Manchester's Spinningfields district, reaching 92 meters high. The glass and steel facade encloses office spaces with contemporary design and multiple commercial uses.
The project arose after the demolition of Quay House and began construction in 2015 as part of Manchester's commercial district renewal. This development marked a new phase in the city's transformation of its former industrial area.
The building shapes Manchester's identity as a modern financial hub, housing offices for national and international companies. It shows how the city has reshaped its economy and appearance in recent years.
The building is easily accessible with direct links to public transportation and has multiple visitor entrances and areas. Parking is available below ground, and surrounding streets offer further connections throughout the city center.
The underground parking uses the buried structures of the former Manchester Evening News, linking historical elements with new architecture. This reuse shows how the building connects the site's past and present together.
