History
editThe building was formerly occupied by Parcelforce and had a bridge over the adjacent railway line linking it to a parcel depot. In 2002, the office was purchased by Bruntwood.[1] Following a refurbishment, Network Rail moved into the building in 2007.[2][3] In May 2022, it was sold to High Speed 2 Ltd.[4] It is expected to be demolished to make way for an expansion of Manchester Piccadilly railway station to accommodate HS2 services.[5][6]
