Developers behind plans to create a huge £1.7bn innovation district in Manchester city centre have unveiled new images of what the finished project could look like as a public consultation opens.
As part of a joint venture between The University of Manchester and Bruntwood SciTech, the ID Manchester district would be nestled by the Mancunian Way and Piccadilly Station. It could see some 4 million square feet of land transformed into an education and retail district alongside a substantial amount of residential homes.
Illustrative masterplans unveiled last month highlighted that some 2 million of those square feet would be earmarked for commercial uses and would sit alongside the creation of 1,500 new homes.

The district would also include a new civic square, a revitalised Vimto Park and the repurposing of key heritage assets such as the Sackville Street and Renold buildings.
It would also transform the university’s purpose-built academic campus into a ‘welcoming and accessible new area of the city’, and repurpose other spaces and sites, such as the Pariser and Renold buildings.
The multi-year project, which is being undertaken by the University and Bruntwood SciTech alongside Legal&General in a 50:50 venture, is expected to create more than 10,000 jobs.
A public consultation into the plans has opened this week inviting local residents, businesses and stakeholders to review the plans and share their thoughts on the scheme. Images shared by Allies & Morrison, who will be the lead architects and masterplanners behind the project, show more of what the finished district could look like.
