The site is referred to as The Greenhouse at Media City, and it now appears set to add to the stock of office space being established and made available in a rapidly changing area of the city.
Peel Media is the principal developer of the entire MediaCityUK scheme, and it is planning to offer a variety of small business office suites at The Greenhouse, with desk space to be available from as little as £50 per week.
As Peel has been keen to point out, the new office space will be only a short walk from the centre of the media hub being developed in Salford Quays, including the Pie Factory, where a number of high-profile occupants are already establishing themselves.
“The Greenhouse will provide self-contained office suites spread over three floors. It is located less than a minute’s walk from the new tram terminus at the heart of MediaCityUK,” noted Stephen Wild, managing director of real estate for Peel Media.
“It is an ideal solution for small companies looking for a cost-effective and flexible way to be part of the MediaCityUK environment,” he added.
ITV is perhaps the best-known company to have committed to moving large parts of its organisation to the Greater Manchester site, but various public operators, including BBC North, the Trafford Council and Salford University, are also setting up their staff in MediaCity office space.
The Peel Group is one of the largest property development organisations currently operating in the north of England, with billions of pounds worth of investment planned for the region over the next two decades.
Editor’s notes: As of June 2026, as in April 2023, space was no longer available at The Greenhouse.
Demolition of the building began in November 2024 to make way for Media City’s Phase 2 project, which was targeting completion in 2030.
