HBD, part of Henry Boot, has kicked off the search for a joint venture partner to deliver an office development in Manchester.
The move comes after the local council gave approval for the development of Colloco, a 200,000 sq ft office scheme in the St John’s district of the city, designed by EPR Architects.
The building is expected to comprise 16 storeys and feature communal spaces on the ground floor with a concierge reception, a roof pavilion with breakout and events space, and access to a landscaped garden terrace.
Each office suite will also have its own private external terrace.
The scheme will be built to net-zero carbon in both construction and operation and is targeting an EPC A and BREEAM Excellent ratings.
It will also aim to be compliant with the British Council for Offices standards and include amenities aligned with WELL building standards.
HBD executive director Adam Brady said: “It will be one of the most sustainable new office buildings in the regional market at a time when high-profile businesses are looking to occupy space which will support their net-zero carbon commitments.”
Asteer Planning are acting as planning consultants. The wider project team includes Arcadis, Curtins, Hoare Lea and Ramboll.
