New Century House, Grade II listed office building in NOMA district, Manchester, England

New Century House rises 50 meters with 14 floors, featuring glass, steel, and vitreous enamel construction in the International Style architecture.

Completed in 1963 for the Co-operative Insurance Society, the building was designed by architect Gordon Tait and received Grade II listing status in 1995.

The attached New Century Hall emerged as a performance venue where artists like Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Lee Lewis presented concerts during the 1960s.

The building contains office spaces, conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, and catering services within the NOMA redevelopment area of Manchester.

New Century Hall gained recognition for its sprung dance floor, which made it a central location for Northern Soul music events without alcohol service.
