AM alpha, a global real-estate investment family firm, is to convert the iconic Rylands building on the corner of Market Street and High Street in Manchester into a mixed-use development comprising retail, leisure and office space.
The Grade II listed building in Manchester city centre, which formerly housed the Debenhams department store, will undergo extensive modernisation.
The complete refurbishment will include fully redeveloping the existing building, converting the upper floors into high-quality office space and creating a shopping arcade on the ground floor.
AM alpha will also add a four-storey extension to the building meaning Rylands will boast ten floors of high-quality office space, a shopping arcade and a leisure area, mainly for restaurant businesses, after the refurbishment.
