Major restoration of Sevendale House reaches practical completion

The restoration of Sevendale House, one of the Northern Quarter’s most prominent buildings, has now reached practical completion, creating 65,000 sq ft of Grade A office space and an additional 15,000 sq ft of retail space.
Owned by Philip J Davies Holdings plc, the £6m renovation of the 120,000 sq ft Grade II listed building is one of the most significant office refurbishment schemes undertaken in Manchester in recent times.
Work involved a complete refurbishment of the five upper office floors, providing Grade A space, in typical floor plates of 15,900 sq ft. The floors can sub-divide enabling it to cater for a range of sizes, with each floor retaining original characteristics where possible, with the reintroduction of the building’s original lightwell a key feature of the restoration.
ARJ are the contractors for the Roger Stephenson-designed scheme, with OBI Property both project managers and leasing consultants for the development. Daniel Harris & Co are joint letting agents on the scheme.
