Manchester's Hotspur Press will be brought back to life
30.05.2024 - 15:59 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The Hotspur Press, a landmark printing mill that has fallen into disrepair since closing its doors as a printing mill in 1996, is set for a new lease of life.
That’s because, after years of stalled redevelopment plans, a new developer has secured planning permission to transform the site. The city centre mill is going to become a 595-bedroom student block, one in ten of which will be affordable units.
Crucially, its facade and iconic ‘Percy Brothers’ signage will be refurbished and incorporated into the new development. The 37-storey tower will also have commercial units, and a 10,000 sq ft public square which will be ‘open to the community for the first time’.

That falls alongside new greenery, trees, and an 'ambition to enhance the adjacent River Medlock'.
That’s according to Richard James, the boss of developers Manner, speaking at the council planning meeting where the project, expected to add £3.6 million to Manchester’s economy, was given the go-ahead unanimously.
He added: “I believe Hotspur Press will always be more than just a building.
“It stands as a connection between [Manchester’s] industrial history and its future. The Hotspur Press possesses all the ingredients and a rare opportunity to achieve that [economic and social progress].”
He went on to tell councillors that neighbours in MacIntosh Village and Chorlton Mill had expressed public support of the proposal, and that the commercial units on the ground floor and nearby railway arches would be made available for independent operators.
The approval comes after a 171-home, 28-storey standard residential proposal was given planning
