Team building 25-acre city-centre innovation district officially announced
Stanhope has been confirmed as the development manager for the £1.5bn ID Manchester mega-project with architects expected to be appointed later this year.
The University of Manchester officially announced yesterday that it will form a joint venture with Bruntwood SciTech, itself a partnership between Bruntwood and Legal & General, to masterplan the 25-acre city-centre innovation district next to Piccadilly Station.
The announcement comes after a protracted tender process which was due to announce a winner last autumn but was delayed by the pandemic.
Diana Hampson, University of Manchester director of estates and facilities, said the project could now progress “sooner than you might have expected”.
