The proposed scheme is planned to be developed in close proximity to Manchester Town Hall and near St Peter’s Metrolink stop. Construction on the project is scheduled to commence in late summer 2020.
Laing O’Rourke director Céire O’Rourke said: “We will be using modern methods of construction with a high percentage of the development being manufactured off site and assembled on site.
“These methods, known as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) minimise disruption, vital in such a tightly constrained site and give the client more certainty in terms of the programme timetable.
