18 January 2024
Telcom, a UK-based provider of business connectivity, has been selected as a strategic partner to deliver its connected building solution Preconnect to the commercial office space at St Michael’s Manchester, UK.
A £400 million (US$507 million) mixed-use development called St Michael’s is underway by English footballer and commentator Gary Neville’s company, Relentless Developments, and its partners.
St. Michael’s consists of two phases. The first phase, St. Michael’s 1, is a £150 million (US$190 million) project, which is expected to be completed in 2024. It is aimed to be Manchester’s first fully net-zero carbon commercial development in terms of operation and delivery.
St. Michael’s 2 is a £250 million (US$317 million), 41-storey tower with hotel rooms and office space. The completion date of the second phase is 2027.
Zerum, a property consultant, and Telcom, a strategic partner, have collaborated to supply St. Michael’s 1 with a connected building solution called Preconnect.
Steven Calder, Head of Connected Buildings at Telcom, commented, “We are immensely proud to be a part of the St Michael’s development. As a Mancunian-born company, Telcom couldn’t be more humbled or thrilled to be contributing to the revitalisation and development of our city’s historic centre.
“Preconnect, our market-leading commercial property solution, will give tenants an unparalleled connection experience by getting them connected to 10Gbps full fibre internet in as little as 24 hours.”
