Cert Property to renovate Northern Quarter office building

Cert Property, the independent Manchester-based property company, has been granted approval of its plans to renovate Hilton House, a 35,000 sq ft office building in the city’s Northern Quarter.

Paul Butler Associates consulted on the planning application which was designed by architect Stephenson Studio and will provide a comprehensive refurbishment of the internal space, contemporary new facade, a 2,250 sq ft extension to the top two floors and will offer serviced and traditional leased office accommodation.

Cert Property, which owns office and residential spaces across Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham, is continuing to expand its portfolio across the region.

Managing director Howard Lord said: “Hilton House is a perfect example of the rebellious spirit of the Northern Quarter.

“A great deal of consideration has been given to these plans as we have worked to retain the original characteristics of the building whilst improving its offering.

“We worked with local talent to create a building which captures the Northern Quarter’s rich heritage whilst also recognising that the working world is evolving.

“The demand for adaptable office solutions in the area is high and it is our aim to restore life into buildings like Hilton House to realise potential and deliver new office solutions across key locations in Manchester and beyond.”
