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.
