The path is clear for the developer to start the conversion of the former Bruntwood office in Old Trafford into apartments later this month, having secured development funding from Reim Capital.
The £13m will go towards the creation of 115 apartments within the 48,000 sq ft office, which Investar Property Group bought last year for an undisclosed sum.
Developer Mandale Homes previously had consent under permitted development rights for an office-to-residential scheme converting the nine-storey Paragon House into 88 apartments.
However, Investar drew up alternative plans for the Seymour Grove building and secured approval from Trafford Council at the end of July for a larger scheme with 115 apartments.

Plans have been lodged for a 190-bed hotel in Liverpool city centre, to occupy a surface car park site between Duke Street and Parr Street.
The scheme has been designed by Tim Groom Architects on behalf of Duke Street Hotel, a vehicle linked to established Liverpool developer Iliad Group through directors David Anastasiou and Tim Molloy.
The hotel would be operated under an emerging brand called Room 2, which has two sites already, in Hammersmith and Southampton.
Taking up space on what is currently a surface car park and a 1950s building previously occupied by Liverpool Media Academy, the proposed scheme would comprise three linked buildings of between five and eight storeys containing 190 hotel rooms.

A 450-home proposal in Partington and apartments in Stretford are to proceed after they received consent from Trafford Council.
Countryside, which completed a land deal with Peel L&P in 2018 for two parcels of land abutting the Manchester Ship Canal, secured full consent for 151 homes on a 10-acre site that formerly housed a caravan park, also obtaining reserved matters approval for the larger site, which is to house 298 houses on around 30 acres.
The breakdown of the reserved matters consent is for 55 two-bedroom, 196 three-bedroom and 47 four-bedroom dwellings.
Outline consent was granted in September 2019 for this site, with conditions attached including the introduction of a mini-roundabout at the junction to the site, open space commitments, and a payment of £384,000 to highways improvements.
Plans for 149 new flats in Old Trafford narrowly approved
Proposals are to demolish the multi-storey building at 66 Talbot Road and build two buildings, one six-storey and one 13 storeys in height, for the apartments

Primus Property Group has submitted fresh plans for a 178-home scheme on Worrall Street in Ordsall, previously earmarked for a scheme by Forshaw Land & Property.
The plans have been drawn up by Tim Groom Architects and comprise 168 apartments and 10 townhouses across two blocks of eight and seven storeys.
The apartments would be a mix of 85 one-bedroom properties, 76 two-bedroom units and seven three-bedroom flats. Nine of the townhouses would offer two bedrooms, while the remaining unit would have three.
Industrial buildings on the site, previously occupied by J and JM Worrall’s Dye Works, would be demolished under developer Primus’ proposals.
