There have already been a number of new areas of office space made available for rent around the site which the Peel Group has earmarked for the latest in a long line of local development projects.
In fact, the level of development activity around MediaCityUK in recent years has been such that several thousand construction staff have been operating out of the building Peel now intends to turn into new areas of high-quality office space.
The building to which the company’s recently submitted plans refer is known as the Greenhouse and it is intended that the site will soon be home to a number of relatively small creative businesses ready to take advantage of the ever-expanding media resources close by.
“[The Greenhouse] is located less than a minute’s walk from the new tram terminus at the heart of MediaCityUK and complements the media hub we’ve created at The Pie Factory,” explained 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”.
Peel describes MediaCityUK as being the largest purpose-built media community in Europe and the group has so far invested close to £500 million in the first phase of development.
Elsewhere in the north-west of England, the same organisation has been among the primary instigators of the Wirral Waters scheme which recently received local planning permission and looks set to see 400,000 sq ft of new office space made available on Merseyside.
Editor’s notes: In April 2023, space was no longer available at The Greenhouse, however, a diverse range of flexible office space and workspace solutions as well as leased office space options were available throughout the 200-acre scheme operated by Peel Group.
Space is available in office buildings at MediaCityUK including Arrive, Digital World Centre (DWC), Orange, Quay West, and The Nest, as well as others.
