Middlewood Locks, the award-winning, £1 billion mixed-use development between Salford and Manchester city centre, has released new office, retail, and leisure occupier opportunities to market.
Four brand new units comprising nearly 10,000 sq ft of space are the latest to complete as part of Railings, the third phase of new homes and commercial spaces to be delivered at Middlewood Locks.
The purpose-built units are split across the ground and first floors providing a prominent frontage onto the waterside are being offered to the market as shells allowing incoming occupiers the opportunity to put their own stamp on it.
Already home to over 2,500 residents, Middlewood Locks is an exciting new neighbourhood situated on a 25-acre brownfield site surrounding the three large basins of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal. It provides a strategically important connect between Salford and Manchester city centre within an established oasis of green spaces.
More than half of the intended 2,215 new homes have already been delivered with a strong community served by amenities and engaging new public realm. Future plans include more much needed new homes and one million sq ft of further commercial space including offices, a hotel, shops and restaurants.
Middlewood Locks is a joint venture being delivered by Scarborough Group International (SGI) with Metro Holdings Limited, a Singapore-listed property development and investment group.
Paul Kelly, Managing Director at SGI, said,
“We are delighted to present this latest commercial opportunity at Middlewood Locks that is ideal for office occupiers and any food, beverage or gym operator. This will complement our existing Co-op convenience store and 92 Degrees coffee shop, which continue to thrive.
“The spaces have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the beautiful canal side location with fully glazed frontage and an outdoor seating area to the ground floor units with the flexibility to be leased as a whole or subdivided to suit requirements. The upper floor units have equally stunning views of the neighbourhood and across to the city centre and are accessed via a double height private atrium space.”
Lyons Thompsons Letts Property Consultants is appointed to market the space.
Tim Letts, said,
“Middlewood Locks presents a fantastic opportunity for any office, retail or leisure operator with a significant captive audience on the doorstep as well as major pedestrian flow through the neighbourhood leading to Manchester city centre.
It’s an impeccably well-connected gateway neighbourhood, close to Spinningfields, St.Johns, New Bailey, Castlefield, and the many bars, businesses, restaurants, shops and world-class cultural experiences within the city centre.”
