The Most Complex Building Site in Manchester

Unitised curtain walling from Wicona Projects has been specified for a landmark 18-storey office tower in the centre of Manchester - believed to be the most complex building site in the city.

The unitised façade is being designed and overseen by Wicona Projects and fabricated by Norking Aluminium in a £3.2m contract.

Developed by the award-winning Property Alliance Group and constructed by Russells Construction, the £17m AXIS project is one of the largest ever speculative developments in Manchester.

Designed by HKR Architects and due for completion towards the end of 2009, the iconic scheme will provide around 72,000sqft of office space in a fully glazed tower, offering stunning 360˚ panoramic views across the city.
