The first phase of the Mayfield development is valued at £400 million with the entire regeneration project being priced at £1.5 billion.
Commenting on the scheme, Deborah Freeman-Watt, Head of Regional Mixed-Use Development, Landsec said: "This is an exciting milestone for us, one that accelerates the green development of one of the UK's leading business communities. Our updated proposals for phase one of a future-proofed Mayfield reflects the needs of the city today and tomorrow, as it progresses towards its net zero future. Mayfield will have the flexibility and customisation to support the increasing shift toward greener habits for business and community.
"Mayfield Park has already contributed a beautiful new public amenity in the heart of Manchester. It is only right that the buildings among it are just as focused on wellbeing and sustainability as the communities within.
"With all three of the buildings in this first phase targeting a 5.5-star NABERS ratings they will be fit to serve communities efficiently and sustainably, delivering for the sustainability goals of the city."
