Written by Alicia O'Boyle

Incredible news for property investors and residents alike, as a huge project to introduce a new, 900,000 sq ft government office to Manchester city centre has just been approved. 

One Port Street, is ideally located nearby, just a one-minute walk away from the new campus. 50% of the employees are said to be new to working within Manchester’s city centre. 

Manchester regeneration progressing at pace:

The £310 million development, set to be a Government Property Agency (GPA) Campus for more than 7,000 civil servants is located along Redhill Street and Great Ancoats street – within the infamous district of Ancoats. 

Ideally located nearby on the corner of Great Ancoats Street is One Port Street. Perfectly placed for these working professionals to easily walk to work, the new GPA campus is less than 0.5km away. 

This new office development is a prime example of major regeneration underway in Manchester, with a £10billion scheme recently announced – including the rebuild of Manchester United’s football stadium, Old Trafford. 

Rising demand for Manchester office space:

According to recent research by Savills, office take up in Manchester reached 1.22 million sq ft in 2024, reflecting a 29% increase on 2023, while sitting 17% higher than the five-year annual average. With the demand for office space in the city centre soaring, more people than ever are working directly in the city centre, therefore increasing the demand for accommodation. 

Catering to the city’s highest earning renters, One Port Street is the ideal choice for professionals moving to Manchester. Offering luxury accommodation in one of the most in-demand locations in the city, One Port Street is set to command a high rental demand.
