INVESTING IN MANCHESTER As the most significant economic region in the UK, Manchester – in particular the city centre – has seen remarkable growth over the past few years. In the late 1990s, only a few thousand people resided in the city centre, whereas this figure has now risen by 80% and is set to continue. 115 Princess Street itself benefits from a prime location in Manchester city centre, close to a number of major development areas. Corridor Manchester (also referred to as the ‘Knowledge Corridor’) is just minutes away from this upcoming development and consists of the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Manchester Science Partnerships. The University of Manchester is investing over £1billion in the next decade to transform their facilities, whilst Manchester Metropolitan University is investing over £350 million to enhance its science, engineering and cultural offerings. By 2025, the surrounding development area will deliver over £4million sq. ft. of commercial, retail and leisure space.

As well as wider pedestrian paths, new ‘Dutch-style’ cycle lanes were introduced in 2017, reducing the carbon footprint in the area. Travel time to major destinations will also be significantly reduced, with the introduction of the high-speed HS2 railway line in the coming years. From Manchester Piccadilly Station, it’ll only take 1 hour to get to London, boosting business and tourism in the city. Just 20 minutes away by foot, the upcoming NOMA neighbourhood will introduce state-of-the-art commercial, technology and leisure facilities to the Northern Gateway area of the city. Over 141,400 people are currently employed in the city centre, but with the introduction of new business and leisure districts such as NOMA, this number is set to increase even further.
