The iconic City Tower in Manchester city centre is undergoing a major refurbishment to renovate the ground floor atrium and reception area.

Schroders has announced plans to invest significant funds in the building after buying from family property firm Bruntwood last May.

Plans include an improved atrium space, a new business lounge, with bookable meeting space and booths, as well as additional catering and retail units.

The refurbishment of City Tower’s 9,257 sq ft ground floor atrium and reception area will take 25 weeks.

The scheme, designed by ID:SR, the design arm of Sheppard Robson worked closely with VP to produce the CGIs
