Landsec has appointed Bowmer + Kirkland to deliver the first commercial building at its Mayfield scheme in Manchester city centre.
Bowmer + Kirkland will make a start on site this summer on the 233,000 sq ft The Republic office building.
Designed by Morris+Company, Landsec secured updated planning consent for the building in April 2025.
Henrietta Nowne, development director at Landsec, said: “The next generation of talent is rightly looking for more from the places they choose to work in. The Republic responds to this changing demand, and helps unlock the delivery of new homes for the city.
“At Mayfield you will work within the lush surroundings of Manchester’s most loved city park, in the most sustainable buildings in the city within a place that prioritises your health and wellbeing. Bowmer + Kirkland’s appointment is a major milestone as we continue to invest and transform Mayfield into a place for all, that serves both the city and the people of Manchester.”
Malcolm Robertson, regional construction director at Bowmer + Kirkland, added: “We are delighted to have been selected for this high-profile project within the wider Mayfield development. The successful award of The Republic follows a period of close collaboration with the Landsec team, and reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and delivering on our clients’ vision. We look forward to bringing this new commercial space to life and being an integral part of the developing Mayfield story.”
