I'm by no means a FOC but Manchester city centre now is a soulless, generic hellscape full of drab grey glass boxes. It's lost almost all the post-industrial architectural charm that it sold itself on for so many years.
It's hideous and of almost zero architectural merit.

All of it?

Lived in that place for a while. Up on the 22nd floor. Left when it started raining inside.
Probably never unfortunately.
Hotspur Press to host brick clad 36-storey tower
Of course, this is Manchester city centre and commerce abhors an undeveloped vacuum. Property developer Manner working with Manchester's award-winning Hodder + Partners have therefore come up with a startling solution to preserve the well-loved shell of Hotspur Press but make it work financially. They're transforming the old building into a 4-storey podium for a 36-storey brick clad tower.
