The 13-storey Republic, designed by Morris+Company, will feature 244,000ft² office development includes larger floorplates and landscaped roof terraces.

Manchester City Council leader Richard Leese said: “The Mayfield scheme will deliver real improvements and opportunities for Manchester’s people.

“Not only will it create a significant new city-centre green space for people to enjoy – something which was integral to the master planning of this development – but it will also deliver thousands of new jobs, transforming an unloved and largely underused part of the city centre into a world-class gateway.”

Mayfield Partnership plans to commence work on-site on the park and the buildings in 2020.

U+I chief development officer Richard Upton said: “Mayfield will be one of the UK’s defining urban developments this decade.

“These plans for the first phase bring together exceptional new workplaces with cultural space, centred on a beautifully landscaped park that will provide a transformative and sustainable public amenity for the people of Manchester long into the future.”

Studio Egret West is the overall master planner for the Mayfield project. It is also the landscape architect for Mayfield Park and designer of the multi-storey car park.
