Starbucks
External refurbishment of a Grade II listed building
Contract Sum: Confidential
Contract Duration: 16 weeks
Client: Starbucks / Jones Lang LaSalle
Structural Engineers / CDMC: AECOM
1/3 Piccadilly is a five storey Grade II listed building located in bustling Piccadilly Gardens in the heart of Manchester. The building comprises a cast iron external frame, timber floors with external timber panelling. A Starbucks coffee shop is situated in the ground floor retail unit and vacant office space in the floors above.
Our project consists of an extensive external refurbishment including external redecoration, a full overhaul of the timber windows, localised timber repairs, re-pointing and localised stonework repairs and repairs to the roof, leadwork and cast iron columns. As the building is Grade II listed all repair works are carried out on a like for like basis.
The condition of the building could not be fully ascertained before the project commenced and we have worked in partnership with our clients to proactively deal with any unforeseen works that have arisen.
Access to the site is extremely limited. The building is located in a terrace and is surrounded by retail and office units with the Metrolink in close proximity. Deliveries must be made in the early morning and we have liaised with our neighbours to reduce the impact of our work.
As you can see from these images we have worked closely with the client to maintain their brand presence and have co-ordinated the erection of a giant building wrap advertisement for Nike which provides a significant revenue stream for the client.
