Part of the skyline.
Part of what’s next.

Completed in 1962 for the Co-operative Insurance Society, CIS Tower is a defining part of Manchester’s architectural story. Its scale, character and location in NOMA create a substantial opportunity for reuse.

Seeing its potential begins with understanding what is already here: the building, its place in the city and the qualities that make it worth carrying forward.

Originally built by Lovell in 2008, the development totals 7,745 sq ft across long leasehold titles.

MCR’s strategy will focus on refurbishment, re-letting, and improved operational efficiency through its in-house management platform. Targeted investment will lift the property’s specification, increase rental performance, and enhance the overall resident experience. This acquisition forms part of MCR’s wider Midlands growth strategy, identifying underperforming but well-located residential assets where active management and capital investment can unlock long-term value.
