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.

Project overview
MCR Property Group is proud to be investing in the heart of Britain’s Ocean City with the acquisition of The Moneycentre, one of Plymouth’s most prominent city centre buildings. Located on Drake Circus, close to the University of Plymouth, Arts University Plymouth, Sutton Harbour and the main rail station, the building is now in the final stages of planning for conversion into 119 high-quality Build to Rent apartments. The scheme will offer a mix of modern, energy-efficient studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes, designed to meet growing demand for well-located rental living in the city centre.
