St Peter's Square Office Cost Guide — Manchester
Civic heart of Manchester — town hall, library, Midland Hotel. Mix of restored period buildings and new-build trophies.
St Peter's Square has been the focus of Manchester's civic regeneration since the Metrolink interchange opened in 2017. Two Grade A trophy buildings (One and Two St Peter's Square) anchor the square, alongside the restored Manchester Central Library and the Edwardian-baroque Midland Hotel. The submarket suits tenants who want the prestige of the city core without paying full Spinningfields rates.
