The Belvedere
|
Replacing what was Cooper
House, the
Belvedere will stand 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.
