The massive form of the 28 storey City Tower (formerly named the Sunley Building) of Piccadilly Plaza is currently being renovated by owners Bruntwood, with the work under the direction of Stephenson Bell Architects. We are looking from Ellesmere Street Hulme between two blocks of Bellway Homes City Gate development on Egerton St.

Laing O'Rourke is the construction company working on the City Gate project.

Visit the Laing O'Rourke website. The O'Rourke's at Laing O'Rourke are, to my knowledge, no relation to me.
