Worthington Properties, part of the Marcus Worthington Group, has submitted plans for a new £70m office scheme in Manchester.
The project involves developing 113,500 sq ft of Grade A office space on Deansgate.
A further 12,100 sq ft of retail space over two units is also included in the proposal.
Replacing 123-127 Deansgate, the scheme will form an important part of the wider Brazenose Street and Lincoln Square redevelopment.
The project was designed by Birmingham-based Glenn Howells Architects.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2016.
Real estate agency Savills has been appointed to market the project, while planning and guidance was provided by Deloitte Real Estate.
Russell Worthington, director of Worthington Properties, said: "This BREEAM Excellent scheme will deliver 113,500 sq ft Grade A office floorplates on one of the busiest and most sought after locations in Manchester.
"It will make a welcome addition to this area of the city and will complement what is happening in Lincoln Square and its immediate surrounds."
Niall Alcock, assistant director at Deloitte, added: "After a long period of relative inactivity, we are now seeing a number of commercial developments come forward to meet the strong demand for Grade A office space in the city centre."
