Second major city centre site bought to expand Piccadilly Station for HS2

A second major site next to Piccadilly Train station has been bought by HS2 to facilitate the stations expansion for the high speed rail line. The Square One building on Travis Street has been bought from property developer Bruntwood, following the sale of a site on Store Street last year.
Square One, which currently contains offices for Network Rail, has been purchased by HS2, on behalf of the Department for Transport for an undisclosed fee. HS2 say the purchase of this site is 'pivotal' to the construction of a new station next to Manchester Piccadilly to facilitate the high speed rail line.
This comes just over a year after the sale of what is currently a surface level car park on Store Street for the same project. Plans had been granted in 2005 to turn this Store Street site into a 60-storey tower with hotel and leisure facilities. However, this scheme never got off the ground and was eventually sold to HS2 in April 2021.

A bill put before Parliament in January confirms the government's current plans are to build the new station overground. But, Greater Manchester's leaders have described these plans as 'severely suboptimal' and 'deficient' and would prefer the station to be built underground. This is because the surface level station would require 'huge concrete viaducts' to run across East Manchester, and for Metrolink
