“THE BEST BUSINESSES IN THE WORLD WANT TO BE LOCATED IN A SPECTACULAR ENVIRONMENT. BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE MOST CREATIVE AND TALENTED PEOPLE WANT TO BE. THE BEST BUSINESSES ARE ALWAYS RETHINKING AND REINVENTING THE FUTURE, TOO.”

The creation and delivery of a game-changing new district for a major city requires just the right measure of patience and impatience. We will deliver 24 acres of spectacular architecture and open space at Mayfield, providing opportunities for a diverse range of people, cultural organisations, communities and businesses, all of whom will help us breathe into this place the creativity and enterprise which both Mayfield and Manchester demand. But such projects are not delivered overnight. We are impatient to create impact and to deliver value to communities as soon as we possibly can. Like yesterday. That’s why we drive worthwhile use, finding places back to life, respectful of local wants and needs and respectful, always, of the history which has been entrusted to us. And that worthwhile use plays a critical part in the evolving identity and character of the organic; a growing process rather than an impose on Manchester? Mayfield will be what its residents, visitors and occupiers make it.

But worthwhile use does something else, also. It allows time to listen and observe as we bring forward the long-term development vision we have for a place. We learn from these conversations. In the case of Mayfield, that vision is hugely ambitious: to be a place which is recognised globally for the quality of its architecture, its creativity, its inclusivity. A magnet for the best employers in the world. And for families. And for those who want to fall in love. An authentic place which marries symphony. A powerhouse of innovation. But it’s a 10-year vision. And that’s where patience comes in. Because we are cognisant, always, that we are creating a place not just for 10 years’ time but for 100 years’ time. What that means is that we have to go way beyond the curve and plan for our children and their children. We have to be prepared to rethink what Manchester might require in the future and what our communities, in all their glorious diversity, might want and need. Future generations are always rebellious. Parents know this. It’s the job of children to take risks. And the job of parents to grant them the space to do so.

So at Mayfield our horizons are both near and distant. Deliver value to our city. Now. And build something which will be relevant and right when our grandchildren are taking their risks. It’s an approach which is also grounded in commercial realities. We need to create something distinctive, too, the best employers, you have to stand out in what is an increasingly flat world. Working with our partners, Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and LCR, our vision for Mayfield includes hotel and retail and leisure spaces. It will also encompass the creation of new public realm to connect Mayfield to Piccadilly Station and its millions of passengers. And at the heart of Mayfield, with the River Medlock flowing through it, will be an incredible new public park. One designed to give a real sense of freedom, a place for minds to wander and a space to dream. That will be just one element of Mayfield which will be distinctive and future-proof. Because if there’s one thing we’re sure of, it’s that in 100 years’ time, people will still be drawn to nature and play. We’re only Intro To Mayfield

MANCHESTER’S FUTURE RETHOUGHT 7

“MANCHESTER IS A CITY WHERE TALENTED PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE AND A LOT OF IT IS AROUND QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.”

SIR RICHARD LEESE, LEADER OF MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL

Mayfield

Mayfield is in the centre of a competitive, progressive, creative and open-minded city with a thriving economy. innovative. It’s already home to world-class engineers, scientists, artists and industrialists. And more and more people want to live, work and study here. Education has long been embedded in the culture of this city. There are five universities, with the University of Manchester being the largest, single-site university in the UK. The city’s retention rate of students is also higher than that of anywhere else in the UK outside London. Which is another reason why talent hungry companies from all over the world choose Manchester. Mayfield’s mix of inspirational workplaces, green space and proximity to transport links will add a whole new compelling dimension to the city. It’s a place where the wellbeing, ambition and quality of life of the talented people who will live and work here, and that of the generations to come, are top priorities. Some of the most talented people on earth will work and do business in Mayfield.

Manchester Talent & Quality Of Life

2ND IN THE WORLD FOR ATTRACTING TALENT FROM LONDON, BEHIND ONLY NEW YORK CITY.

THE ECONOMIST’S GLOBAL LIVEABILITY INDEX

With its manpower, infrastructure and industrialists, Manchester was the world’s first city of the industrial age. Now, relentlessly young and hungry, with an enviable quality of life, diverse talent and progressive, original thinking, Manchester is a global city that’s stepping up to a great future.

AN ILLUSTRIOUS FUTURE BUILT ON AN INDUSTRIOUS PAST Why Mayfield? Why any of this? Why all of this? Why aren’t we just selling floorplates of shiny new

Mayfield

Mayfield is a place with previous - it’s always been a marvelously messy and complex mix of all the things that a city like Manchester and its people need to be successful. It’s just that Mayfield’s been derelict for a while. (Too long for a place this full of incredible potential and promise.)

The reason Mayfield’s been here for ages is the Medlock, one of Manchester’s 3 life-giving rivers. Back in 1782 Mayfield was just some fields with a river running through it, next to an industrious city on the brink of an illustrious future.

PRE 1782

1858

1940

Mayfield is the site of a big country house.

Mayfield baths opens, designed by Thomas Worthington in an Italianate style with Roman detailing in the main public spaces.

Mayfield is hit by a parachute mine during WWII, destroying the baths.

1782

1910

1960

Mayfield print works is established here by Thomas Hoyle due to access to the River Medlock, which helped power machinery that could produce a mile of calico in an hour.

The print works are demolished and replaced with Manchester Mayfield railway station - its platforms serving south Manchester.

Extra capacity at Piccadilly makes Mayfield station redundant.

Then along comes businessman Thomas Hoyle. He brought his textile printing works here because he needed water to power his machinery, and he needed to be in Manchester because it made commercial sense. People and skills were nearby. Transport infrastructure was on the doorstep. As a result, his innovative business thrived, led the world, and drew notable visitors from far and wide. A community developed around his premises. Smaller businesses emerged. And people started coming here for more than work. They lived here. They ate, drank, played and had a good time here – in pubs, inns and public places like Mayfield Baths.

Fast-forward to the 21st Century and the reasons that made Mayfield an interesting place to live, work and play then, are the same now. Only now the river won’t be powering machinery, it’ll be generating the wellbeing of the talent that will work here. There will be places for big businesses to thrive and for smaller businesses to grow around them. There will be places for people to live. And there are already places for people to live, eat, drink, play and have a good time. We’re not reinventing the wheel. We’re just holding this precious place in our hands and breathing life back into it so it can once again sustain a community and serve this great city. Mayfield is a place. Like it was and always will be.

Mayfield

IT STARTS WITH A RIVER 14

Without the Medlock, there is no Mayfield. The river was the reason that business came here in 1782. Its ability to power machinery was the catalyst for the prosperity and community that grew here, influencing the built environment and the Rather than keep the Medlock hidden underground we decided to liberate, embrace and celebrate it. The source of Mayfield’s future flows from the Medlock. Its meandering line influencing the alignment of new buildings that will provide homes for businesses large and small. Its banks providing the basis of a park. A park that will power a sense of wellbeing in the people that will live, play and work here.

River Medlock 15

Mayfield

A PARK FOR EVERYONE 16

Reaching out from the banks of the liberated River Medlock, Mayfield Park will be a significant – and historic – addition to Manchester’s public life for two big reasons. One, there’s never been a park in the city’s centre before. And two, this energetic city needs more places to gather, rest and play. Whilst a park of this size and scale is something unprecedented in the centre of Manchester, the reason for it being here is nothing new. Mayfield used to be a place of leisure, enjoyment and public gathering.

So we’re delivering a park here because it’s what the neighbourhood needs and it’s what Manchester needs. Somewhere with something for everyone. Stretching from Piccadilly Station to the Medlock Valley, the multi-layered Mayfield Park includes a sequence of spaces with a mix of urban and natural qualities. Merging indoor with outdoor, and upper with lower levels, the flows throughout Mayfield.

"SOMETHING CREATED BY MANCHESTER FOR MANCHESTER"

Mayfield

SIMEON ALDRED, STRATEGY DIRECTOR OF BROADWICK LIVE & CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF VIBRATION GROUP

ON RUNNING DEPOT AT MAYFIELD

Why Depot? Why Mayfield? Over the last 20 years our team has been creating new cultural experiences across the globe. We’ve hosted events from festivals to fashion, food events and music both live and electronic in some of the most dynamic and challenging environments. In the last 10 years we have been pioneering the re-birth of industrial spaces for culture and have been looking for a space of significance in the North. We were looking to create something of scale, something real, open and bold that has the potential to become iconic. Mayfield is all of those things and more, and Manchester is one of the best cities in the world to do it in.

What does ‘meanwhile’ mean to you? I don’t use the term meanwhile because it feels like a throw away, something just temporarily filling a gap. The only reason I do these projects is to create spaces that might live forever. Maybe not in the same form, but our aim is always to leave something worthwhile behind. What does it take to make something like this work? It’s all about pace and partnership. It’s impossible to do work in collaboration with landowners, the council and as many cultural players you can to complete the project as quickly and as boldly as you can. The next step is to spend time refining, learning and growing the audiences. It’s super hard work 7 days a week but it is possible. What inspires your vision? For me, it’s about bringing spaces back to life. Seeing the reaction of the first few guests through the door and how they interact wih the amazing building, protection and scale is what drives us as a team. How does it fit into – or stand out from Manchester’s cultural scene? When asked about Manchester I am always cautious to make comment on what is one of the most culturally rich and diverse cities in the world. But one thing I do know, is that Depot is cut from the same bold, dynamic traditions that has made Manchester an icon globally for music and culture.

outside. We presented the MIF19 production Invisible Cities and are currently playing host to Warehouse Project’s biggest season yet with 30 large-scale music shows. I’m super excited to what happens next. Who comes here – acts and customers? The current music programme is focused around electronic names in the world. The audiences have been very diverse - from fans through to cultural explorers. We plan to widen the audiences with our roster of spring and summer events. In terms of performance, you’ve said you were excited to push the boundaries to the next level here – can you give us any examples of pushing boundaries at Depot? I think the capacity is the boldest element to Depot. Having 10,000 souls all together in one space, partying late into the night is something special. The work MIF did in creating a full canal with real water in the space

What was the commercial opportunity? At this stage of a project we are not focused on the commercial aspect. Rather, we are looking to create long term places that the people of Manchester own culturally. Something created by Manchester for Manchester. Our experience shows that if you get that right the money side of things always drops into place.

What’s happened since Depot opened? We have been creating the main depot box which many

For me it’s not about what we want. Artists are now approaching us to see what can be created in the space. Watch this space for some truly original work over the next few years. Could Depot Mayfield go down in history as being one of the best cultural venues of all time? I think the partnership behind this site, this city and this building all have the potential to make Depot a global icon.

Originality runs deep in this city and there’s a city-wide following for culture that defies conventions. You only have to look at the thriving, bold concert and theatre scene to understand that’s been true of Manchester for a long time. And since 2007 Manchester International Festival (MIF) has put together a programme of innovative and forward thinking world premieres every two years that has drawn avid culture vultures from far and wide. Staging completely new and original productions have included Bjork, Steve McQueen, Jeremy Deller, The Albarn. Mayfield has been part of four Festivals already, proving itself as a venue that intrigues and impresses artists and audiences alike. John McGrath, Artistic Director and CEO of MIF, explains how Mayfield’s unique space was most recently embraced, challenged and adapted: “Mayfield has been such an iconic space for us over the years and for MIF19 we reimagined it in ways that, even those familiar with the work we have presented there, will never have seen before. Skepta’s extraordinary futuristic immersive rave, DYSTOPIA987, took us on a search for a new way of being together. In Invisible Cities, the former railway depot became the court of Kublai Khan, plus a wealth of seemingly impossible cities – conjured through digital magic and innovative interdisciplinary work, the artists that we brought together - Leo Warner, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Lolita Chakrabarti - created a truly breathtaking new kind of performance. These projects are built around Manchester – they simply couldn’t happen anywhere else.”

Cycling means a lot to Manchester. It’s British Cycling’s home, former Olympian Chris Boardman is the city’s Cycling and Walking Commissioner, the City Council has set itself a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2038, and Mayfield will be a big part of that.

As a hub for Manchester's cycling community Mayfield will play a big role in innovating ways to drive interest in cycling. But that's all to come. For now, we give you The Dirt Factory, the UKs first indoor bike park. The Dirt Factory was located inside a disused 25,000 sq ft warehouse on the Mayfield site, and brought high quality bike trails to the heart of Manchester. It housed a range of exciting bike trails, designed for riders of all ages and abilities, where individuals, friends and groups can ride together, have fun and take their bike skills to the next level. It was open from 2018–2020, ahead of the business moving to a permanent home at a larger facility in Greater Manchester.

The ‘street’ within the historic and repurposed Depot opens and spills out onto the park landscape, with the unique, pillared building acting as host to an array of markets, events, restaurants, bars, and specialist independent stores. Round the corner, on the Depot’s pedestrianised east side, and beneath the six brick arches of Temperance Street, you can explore Mayfield together, there's nowhere else like it in Manchester.
