Karrev’s redevelopment of Manchester’s original skyscraper into a 210,000 sq ft office block was completed this month.
The refurbishment work to transform the grade two-listed, 14-storey building off Quay Street into grade A office space was carried out by G&H Group and MYCO Interiors.
Project manager Hollis, quantity surveyor Quantem, structural engineer Eckersley O’Callaghan, and architect Anomaly all contributed to the regeneration of the building.
More than 75,000 sq ft of the 210,000 sq ft Sunlight House is let, tenants include the Crown Prosecution Service and PINS Social Club.
Manchester City Council issued planning permission for the revamp to Karrev’s developer partner Kinrise in July 2023. Kinrise then left the project in February 2024.
A Karrev and Kinrise joint venture acquired the art deco Sunlight House off Aberdeen Group for £42m in August 2022.
Karrev has also announced the office’s in-house property management team will be led by Louise Dean, director of property management at Karrev, who joined the developer in March this year.
