One & Two Express, Manchester
The One Express Building located on George Leigh Street, Manchester is a Grade II listed building that was designed by engineer Sir Owen Williams. It was built in 1939 to house one of three Daily Express offices.
The pre-World War II building is notable for its timeless, “space-age”quality and is often mistaken for being much younger than it is due to its futuristic avant garde appearance. The building was purchased in November 2017 by the PJD Group to provide modern workspace incorporating smart technology.
Two Express, is the sister building to One Express and was also purchased in November 2017 by PJD Group. It has also been refurbished to Grade A standard.
