Open for business

Following the success of both N01 and N08, the latest phase under construction is the 130,000 sq ft Manchester Hub for the Government Property Agency who is taking the entire building.

Inspired by the ‘winter gardens’ these offices will also benefit from weatherproof corner gardens to be used as alternative working environments or collaborative breakout spaces. These stunning spaces will breathe life into the buildings both by offering a window onto the city and into the First Street environment, and importantly as healthy and attractive interior spaces for the people who work here.

First Street’s Next Chapter in Living

Already home to some of Manchester’s finest student accommodation at Vita, our residential community will be further enhanced by their new concept called House of Social, creating the next high-quality residential building for Manchester’s expanding student population which includes a vibrant, relaxed food hall at ground level which will be open for everyone to enjoy.

Square Gardens, Downing’s co-living scheme which will see over 2,000 people move into the neighbourhood, provides a whole range of residential options for young professionals wanting a city centre lifestyle.

And with only two development plots remaining we are on track to make good on our commitment to accelerate the delivery of the First Street masterplan.
