Manchester’s new innovation district will power the growth of Manchester’s knowledge economy while unlocking the potential to commercialise research and development in the heart of the city. Routed in context and history, our masterplan will be an important fusion of heritage assets, with the Sackville Street and Renold buildings repurposed, and new buildings and landscape all contributing to a special urban character. Connections and routes will make a previously closed off campus open and accessible to all while a living landscape will significantly increase biodiversity and boost climate change resiliency. 240,000 sqm of workspace, over 1,500 new homes and significant investment in the public realm will create a welcoming, dynamic, low-carbon neighbourhood.
