101 Embankment
23rd January 2018

The AA201 unitised or off-site manufactured curtain walling from KAWNEER with curved corners and feature bands clads the first to tenth floors of the Grade A office building and car park development known as 101 Embankment in Salford, Greater Manchester.

Designed by architects Flanagan Lawrence, the BREEAM “Excellent” rated offices have been built on a Grade II listed sandstone viaduct podium structure that in itself houses three levels of car parking and two retail units.

The unitised curtain walling by Kawneer was installed by building envelope contractor Prater at the rate of up to 30 of the 1,160 panels a day or a complete floor in five days. The development totals 165,000ft2.

The site in Manchester’s Greengate regeneration area was part of the former Manchester Exchange railway station. Embankment 101 is now tenanted by Swinton Insurance and Q-Park has agreed a 35-year pre-lease for the 442-space car park.
