The Belvedere
Replacing
what
was
Cooper House, the Belvedere stands between Booth
Street and Kennedy Street where they meet Cooper Street
a stone's throw from the Town Hall. The developers
describe it as follows, "Belvedere, a contemporary
office building in Manchester’s prime office core,
offering 103,000 sq ft of stunning Grade A office space
over 8 floors, providing an exceptional working
environment. Secure underground parking and private
terraces, with stunning views over the city, are also
incorporated into the specification." They go on to point out that, "a ‘belvedere’ was a structure partly open to the sky, carefully positioned so that its occupants could enjoy spectacular views of the surroundings. With its distinctive private terraces, commanding position and fine views across the very heart of the city, Belvedere is a magnificent 21st Century embodiment of that original idea." As the photographs
below indicate construction was well underway in April
of 2008.
