Described as a “structure designed for today, with tomorrow in mind” by MEPC development director Dan Hyde, 4 Angel Square is the latest addition to the NOMA estate in Manchester.

The 11-storey office was recently handed over by our North-West team and what make the building special is its sustainability credentials. It was the first building in Manchester to achieve a NABERS design for performance target rating of five stars. It is net zero carbon in operation and has a BREEAM rank of Outstanding.

Operated completely on renewable energy, 4 Angel Square boasts air source heat pumps, rooftop photovoltaic panels, and a comprehensive building management system that allows for the monitoring and adjustments of energy performance, climate control, and air quality.

In addition to offices, the building includes a business lounge, event facility, and wellness suite. The ground floor is also reserved for leisure and retail opportunities.

Dan Hyde continued: “It stands as a pioneer among the next generation of sustainable office buildings at NOMA, and we look forward to welcoming the new occupiers to our growing neighbourhood very soon.”

"The office block also boasts fibre-optic digital connectivity infrastructure, which helped it earn a WiredScore of Platinum.

“Businesses equally want to be part of locations with a sense of soul which foster community, offering diversity, and contributing positively to the urban landscape. All attributes we have in spades at NOMA.”

“The completion of 4 Angel Square marks not only a proud moment for us, but also a resounding vote of confidence in Manchester’s status as a premier choice for leading businesses,” he said.

B+K Regional Director, Paul Sykes, said:  “This building is an exemplar in sustainable office spaces, and we take immense pride in being the principal contractor for its construction.

"Manchester is renowned for its forward-thinking approach, and 4 Angel Square aligns seamlessly with the city’s future-forward ethos, enhancing the wellbeing and productivity of its occupants.”
