'''One St Peter's Square''' is a [[high -rise]] office building in [[Manchester]], [[England]]. It is situated in [[St Peter's Square, Manchester|St Peter's Square]] in the [[Manchester city centre|city centre]].
 
== Elisabeth House ==
The previous building on the site was Elisabeth House, an office block constructed of concrete and built in 1960, and which had weathered badly. It was originally meant to be clad in stone to keep with its context but for financial reasons the exposed concrete was not clad.<ref name="ManchesterHistory" /> It used to house the Dutch Pancake House, which opened in the 1970s and closed in the early 2000s.<ref name="MEN_13Feb18" /> Demolition of Elisabeth House began in late 2011 and the building was fully removed by April 2012.<ref>{{cite nameweb |title="BBC18May2012"Project: Elisabeth House |url=https://connellbrothers.co.uk/project/elisabeth-house-manchester-city-centre/ |access-date=18 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{failedcite news verification|title=Contract wins push Connell Brothers past £7m |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/contract-wins-push-connell-brothers-699633 |access-date=November18 2014February 2023 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=10 January 2013}}</ref>
 
== NewOffice building ==
Construction of thea new office building was first proposed in 2009,<ref name="SkyScraperNews18Sep09" /> and was granted planning permission in 2010.<ref name="WorldArchitecture" /> The scheme was approved in July 2011,<ref name="SkyScraperNews21July2011" /> and a 25% pre-let of the building by professional services firm [[KPMG]] enabled construction to begin.<ref name="ManchesterConfidential24Aug2011" /> One St Peter's Square consists of {{convert|268,000|sqft|sqm|abbr=on}} of [[Office#Grading|Grade A]] office space.<ref name="OneStPetersSquareIntro" />
 
TheIn 2011, the Greater Manchester Property Venture Fund (GMPVF), part of the [[Greater Manchester Pension Fund]], invested £10 million in the development.<ref name="PersionFund" />▼
Construction began in May 2012 and was due to be completed in early 2014 to coincide with completion of the [[Manchester Central Library|Central Library]] and [[Manchester Town Hall Extension|Town Hall]] redevelopment. It then underwent internal fit out and was completed in late 2014.<ref name="MEN16July2014" /> Concern over the building's height surfaced during the construction of the core. One local observer said the building "is at least four storeys too tall on the site and the lift core alone makes the neighbours cower".<ref name="ManchesterConfidential15Oct2012" /> The building fronts onto [[Midland Hotel, Manchester|Midland Hotel]], [[Manchester Central Library|Central Library]] and [[Manchester Town Hall Extension|Town Hall Extension]] – all Grade II* listed buildings.▼

The [[column]]s supporting the building are on the outside, thus avoiding unwelcome columns in the office space. The exterior columns are clad in [[limestone]] rather than [[concrete]]. The choice of limestone was exacerbated by the need to remain in context with listed buildings in the vicinity and the desire to avoid weathering which is often seen in concrete.<ref name="ManchesterHistory" /> A three-storey glazed [[balcony]] tops the building and features a curved, overhanging roof complete with spotlights.
 
Situated in Manchester's historic district, the building needed to meet strict [[Conservation area (United Kingdom)|conservation area]] rules. One St Peter's Square was designed in a simple, modern classical style with high quality Jura limestone columns to fit in with the Central Library opposite. A sweeping top floor balcony perches out over St Peter's Square, providing a focal point for passers-by.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}} The new building forms part of the new civic space for St. Peter's Square. As part of the plans, the Central Library and Town Hall Extension were renovated (a process which began in 2010 and was completed in 2014) and the landscaping of the square with trees.<ref name="BBC18May2012" />
