TRINITY MANCHESTER OFFICE REDEVELOPMENT

A landmark transformation for Helical PLC at Trinity Court

Trinity Court, situated in the heart of Manchester’s central core, was originally developed in 1992 behind a 19th-century façade. In 2021, Helical’s professional team focused on redesigning and scoping the building. This included infilling six floors of the central atrium and adding a further floor to the building, resulting in a bold and transformative redevelopment.

Helical PLC and Savills negotiated with ADT Workplace under a design and build delivery model to undertake a significant refurbishment and extension programme, delivering institutional-quality modern office space to meet the rising demand in Manchester city centre from a growing and diverse mix of occupiers.

The collaborative efforts of the design, project and construction teams successfully redeveloped 59,000 sq ft of commercial space, infilled the atrium, and constructed a new seventh floor — all within just 46 weeks.

“The design, project, and construction teams have successfully redeveloped 59,000 sq ft of commercial space, fully infilled an atrium, and constructed a new seventh floor — all within just 11 months, or to be exact, 323 days.

This is a remarkable achievement, and there are few, if any, other projects of this scale that I can think of which have been successfully completed in such a short timescale“

— Will Parry, Property Executive, Helical

Creating a future-ready commercial asset

The redevelopment prioritised premium finishes, BREEAM standards, and occupier flexibility. Key outcomes include:

A CAT A fit-out across all floors, tailored for future tenants
A newly constructed top floor offering enhanced city views
Retention of the historic façade with a fully reimagined interior
Space layouts supporting hybrid working and subdivision potential

Located just minutes from major transport links and surrounded by vibrant amenities, Trinity is now positioned as a premier workplace destination in Manchester.

Continued partnership at Trinity

Following the successful redevelopment of Trinity, ADT Workplace has continued to deliver workplace projects within the building. We were appointed by the new building owners, Swiss Life, to complete a high-quality show suite to attract new occupiers.
