Construction nearing practical completion at Manchester Goods Yard

Allied London's eagerly awaited Manchester Goods Yard development, designed by Chapman Taylor, is approaching practical completion on site in Manchester.

Part of the St John’s development in Manchester city centre, Manchester Goods Yard will provide a total of 31,000m2 of commercial space, including 28,000m2 of workspace and 3,000m2 of retail space across three interlinked building blocks.

The development will become a new global headquarters for Booking.com, who have taken 20,000m2. The building will create an enjoyable, state-of-the-art facility for up to 3,000 people, and will provide a benchmark for high-quality, flexible workspace in the city.

Manchester Goods Yard is set to become the fulcrum for Enterprise City at St. John’s, a new digital media technology hub which will be home for a mix of start-up and multi-corporation creative industries. The ultra-modern, flexible workspaces will be supplemented by a mix of café bars, restaurants and leisure facilities, with the aim of creating a vibrant neighbourhood in which to live, work, shop and relax.

The development is under construction by Lend Lease on behalf of Allied London.
