Welcome to
Place North West.
THIS WEEK
A Tale of Two Sportsmen: Gary Neville and Andrew Flintoff moved into Manchester real estate. How’s it going so far?
Unkillable: the landlords of the North West’s suburban offices have had a difficult couple of decades. It taught them lessons that are now paying off.
Is that it? The selection of a development partner for the £1.5bn ID Manchester scheme is nearly complete. But where did the big-name bidders go?
A TALE OF TWO SPORTSMEN
Who shoots, who scores?
Gary Neville’s £200m St Michael’s scheme has just five weeks to start on site, otherwise its planning consent will expire. Logik Developments, chaired by cricketer Andrew Flintoff, is on the brink of a deal to unlock a 1m sq ft scheme. Both have open goals, will they score?

Peel L&P with Urban Splash, and Bruntwood SciTech with London-based investor and developer Stanhope are vying for selection by the University of Manchester for the 4m sq ft mixed-use scheme.
The university is considering bids for the £1.5bn ID Manchester project after the four-party long-list was reduced to two parties. HBD and Singapore-based investor Mapletree Investments made the final four but have since dropped out of the running,
Place North West understands.
The successful party is expected to be announced in the coming weeks after the university restarted the procurement process having put it on hold due to the pandemic.

TEN, NINE, EIGHT… The countdown to the reopening of hotels is nearing zero and staff at the Beetham Tower’s Hilton Hotel have been getting a little excited. Since last Friday, they have been darting between bedrooms turning lights on and off to remind the people of Manchester just how long they have to wait before they are able to sleep in a bed that isn’t theirs again. Cynics might lambast the Hilton for its
laissez faire attitude towards energy consumption but considering hotels have been closed for most of the past 14 months, I think we can let them off.
