It's all part of a government plan
The main conceptual idea behind the redevelopment of Manchester's former Central Retail Park is to transform it into a vibrant mixed-use space.
The plan involves:
* A nine-story office building: Housing 7,000 Civil Service staff, serving as the government's Manchester Digital Campus 'hub'.
* Ground floor amenities: Including cafes and retail units, providing services for local residents and workers.
* Surrounding parkland: Created and maintained through the investment from the new office development, offering green space within the urban area.
This project aims to address the long-standing issue of the abandoned site, "close the gap" in Great Ancoats Street, and revitalize the area with job creation, improved amenities, and a focus on sustainability through parkland integration.
