Piccadilly Plaza is a building many Mancunians
love to hate. It is at the top of many peoples' demolition X-list, but
I like it. Demolition would be difficult and expensive due to its huge
size. Owners Bruntwood have decided to carry out a makeover on
Piccadilly Plaza, including the hotel and tower, now renamed City
Tower. I hope they retain as many original features of the
building as possible. (Many thanks to Bruntwood Properties for kindly
providing this montage, which is intended to provide a rough indication
of how the building might look after renovation. My photo upper right
was taken 17 September 2004.)
