**Square One** is an office building in [Manchester](/source/Manchester), England.

## History

The building was formerly occupied by [Parcelforce](/source/Parcelforce) and had a bridge over the adjacent railway line linking it to a parcel depot. In 2002, the office was purchased by [Bruntwood](/source/Bruntwood).[1] Following a refurbishment, [Network Rail](/source/Network_Rail) moved into the building in 2007.[2][3] In May 2022, it was sold to [High Speed 2 Ltd](/source/High_Speed_2).[4] It is expected to be demolished to make way for an expansion of [Manchester Piccadilly railway station](/source/Manchester_Piccadilly_railway_station) to accommodate HS2 services.[5][6]
