Plans have been submitted for phase one of a 2m sq ft science and manufacturing campus at Manchester Airport.
Mix Manchester
The first phase of Mix Manchester will deliver over 70,000 sq ft of flexible mid-tech workspace, a multi-storey carpark, ground-floor commercial uses and new public realm.
The hybrid application includes outline planning permission for future phases comprising up to 500,000 sq ft of medium and large-scale advanced manufacturing space and 600,000 sq ft of R&D, office, lab and hotel uses.
When complete, Mix Manchester is expected to create up to 8,000 jobs with 2m sq ft of employment space across the 60-acre site.
Helen Ratcliffe, head of agency and development at Mix Manchester, said: “The submission of our first planning application follows months of dedication, marking a key step forward in providing cutting-edge innovation and manufacturing space on a high-quality, technology-focused campus, with units scheduled for delivery from Q4 2027.
“By seeking both detailed approval for the initial phase and outline permission for future expansion, we are laying the foundations for our truly transformative development that will support innovative start-ups and growing enterprises and create significant job opportunities within the local economy.”
Mix Manchester is being developed in collaboration with Manchester Airports Group, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF) and Beijing Construction Engineering Group.
CBRE acted as planning consultant for the scheme; JLL and Track Real Estates are the appointed agents.
