Rylands Building, Grade II listed building in Manchester, England

The Rylands Building features Portland stone cladding, decorative corner tower, and distinctive window lintels across its ten-story structure on Market Street.

Built between 1932 and 1957 as a warehouse for the Rylands textile company, the building transformed into Paulden's Department Store after a fire in 1957.

The structure appeared in L.S. Lowry's 1954 painting of Piccadilly Gardens, marking its place in Manchester's artistic documentation.

The building spans 500,000 square feet and undergoes transformation into office spaces, retail areas, and leisure facilities with completion expected in 2025.

The redevelopment includes a four-story rooftop extension while maintaining the original Portland stone facade and Art Deco architectural elements.
