Six buildings have been shortlisted for the Greater Manchester Building of the Year Award 2024.
The shortlisted buildings are:
- Rochdale Town Hall
- CO-OP Live Arena
- Eden
- Stockport Interchange
- North View, North Manchester General Hospital
- Viadux Phase 1
The aim of the Building of the Year Award is to recognise a building’s contribution to Greater Manchester in terms of construction and development. This could include the building’s significance to the City Region, its impact on the local economy, its effect on the local community, its importance in terms of urban regeneration and environmental enhancement, its design excellence, or its contribution to urban design and townscape.
Diane Elebert-Morgan, Property & Construction Group Manager at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, said: “We have a great selection of shortlisted buildings from across Greater Manchester. Ranging from the restoration of historic gem Rochdale Town Hall to the world-class venue CO-OP Live Arena, the list shows how Greater Manchester is blazing a trail in architecture. We can all be proud that our area is home to such fantastic buildings, and I look forward to seeing the winner crowned in March.”
