The tower is 50 m (164 ft) tall and has 13 floors of office space.[2] It was built in the International style, like the Arts Tower in Sheffield and Tower 42 in London.[3][4]

The Pennine Centre was built for HSBC and used as their regional headquarters. HSBC moved to a new-build regional headquarters at Charter Square on the other side of the city centre in 2019. The unoccupied building was subsequently purchased by RBH Properties for £18 million, who then carried out a £30 million refurbishment of the complex, rebranding it as Pennine Five or P5. The first phase of the refurbished project, codenamed Block Three, reopened for commercial use in June 2020.[5]
