THE iconic Stockport Pyramid has gone on sale for the first time in its history.
Joint agents, Colliers and Impey have been appointed to market one of the most recognisable buildings on the local landscape.
The Pyramid, an 86,000 sq ft glass office facility at Kings Reach, was home to the Co-Operative Bank from 1995 and became surplus to requirements following the relocation of its operations.
Saudi investor, Eamar Developments, purchased the freehold building - a great example of modern architecture - for around £4.5m in May this year when, at the time, its future was undecided.
Dominic Pozzoni, director of national offices at Colliers, said: "The forthcoming availability of Stockport Pyramid represents an exciting and unique opportunity for businesses to acquire an exceptional HQ office building in an outstanding location.
"Upon completion of the refurbishment, the Pyramid will help to address the strong level of demand from businesses seeking grade A office space in south Manchester."
Stockport Pyramid, which was originally to be the first of three pyramid buildings to be built at Kings Reach, was empty for several years following its completion.
Tenants are being sought for the building which is situated on Junction 1 of the M60, the building totals 86,000 sq ft over five floors with 426 on-site car parking spaces.
Stockport is currently enjoying a resurgence of interest in the town which is currently in the midst of a £1bn investment project with multiple projects in the pipeline.
