The Green Building was an environmentally conscious mixed-use development situated in the Southern Gateway area of Manchester City Centre, England. The Green Building was designed by Terry Farrell and Partners who aimed to create a sustainable environment on an unusual triangular plot, adjacent to Oxford Road national rail station. The building was constructed by Taylor Woodrow as part of the Macintosh Village development, which took its name as the birthplace site of the Mackintosh raincoat.

The building consisted of 32 apartment units built in a 10-storey drum placed centrally above a 2-storey base containing a 120-place nursery and a medical centre. The lower section is a wedge-shaped plinth following the triangular alignment of New Wakefield Street and River Street, with the long sides of the plinth punctured by a series of brightly coloured windows set within the blue brick base.

Ecological features included a roof-mounted wind generator, solar panels, an atrium-based natural ventilation system, materials selected on the basis of low-embodied energy and various water conservation measures.
