It's that time of year again when Manchester attends MIPIM. Hopefully we'll get to see some new proposals or new renders of current proposals. Manchester MIPIM 2008 website below article.

City Cannes do

5/ 2/2008


MANCHESTER will make a splash at the property businesses' big seaside bash.

Local developers and property consultants are already packing their bags for MIPIM - the annual gathering of the property world held at Cannes, in France.

MIPIM 2008, from March 11-14, is expected to be larger than ever with 30,000 delegates from around the world.

The UK is among the biggest attenders, with more than 1,500 companies, and Greater Manchester's is thought to be the largest delegation from outside London.

MIPIM is the acronym for Le Marché International des Professionnels de l'Immobilier.

The M.E.N. will be represented with its largest delegation lead by Business editor Chris Barry and Homes editor Jill Burdett.

The Manchester Partnership, led by Marketing Manchester and the city council, is among the largest exhibitors and has used the event to launch major projects and regeneration initiatives.

Last year, the Cannes gathering saw the announcement of a substantial redevelopment of Bolton town centre. This year, announcements are expected on a series of large mixed-use schemes throughout the north west.

Dominic Pozzoni, director at Manchester-based Property Alliance Group, said: "Last year, we had a big presence at MIPIM and proudly flew the flag for Manchester as one of the city council's partners.

"The event was a huge success for us - not only in terms of helping put Manchester's property industry on the international map but also in the contacts we made.

"It is such a vast event and, while we had limited our expectations for our first trip, we cannot recommend it enough now.

"We made genuine, worthwhile contacts and the event provided the opportunity to meet people that would be more difficult to see on a day-to-day basis.

"The relationships we built there created tangible deals for us in 2007 and kept us very busy."

This is a hard one.

On one hand we need and have to work with the other Northern cities to wrestle more power away from the London based Government. We can't do it all on our own. We are much stronger and more powerful if we work together.

On the other hand Manchester is miles ahead of the other Northern cities. Devolution, transport, business, science, investment, residential etc. This week at MIPIM has confirmed this, even though we already knew that.(in all honesty)

However, Manchester has to tread a fine line between looking after it's own interests, but at the same time being part of a devolved and united North of England.

Also The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine is expanding and now offers its own degrees, separate from Liverpool University; a new Materials Innovation Factory ( joint university project with Unilever). BAC Mono super-car expansion; Jaguar Land rover expansion. Two premiership football teams; two championship golf courses; the grand national - and so on......

The Government support tag doesn't always have to be applied when referring to Manchester. The city does very well via the private sector, especially through vehicles like Manchester University.

Liverpool get's plenty of EU and Government support that Manchester has never had.
 
#208 · (Edited)
This "Government support" tag is an acrimonious, cut-copied-pasted cliche. It is beginning to sound like a stuck record with them.

It was or isn't quite moaning, but Manchester has the advantage of keen and clear political actors like Leese and Bernstein, other prominent big name protagonists like Anthony Wilson, an economic of scale to it's advantage and a rush of civic and cultural impetuses promoting the city for a generation annd a persuasive sway that can charm the media and to a lesser extent the government.

Lucky circumstances that could occur elsewhere, especially Liverpool, in future.
And if these "lucky circumstances" ever do occur, all the luck of the Irish to them on this St. Patricks day.

Well that's true if that's solely Manchester, Nottingham and Liverpool, but Newcastle, Hull, Leeds and Sheffield have all endured Lib Dem and/or Tory leadership in the last decade or more.

RECORD year for Manchester. Interesting to see DCM back on the list. I wonder if they are part of a new development in Manchester. I do hope so. I love their work.

Indeed, I know London have their nicknamed buildings, but DCM have created 2 in the Filing Cabinet (CJC) and the Jenga tower (1 New York St), both good quality too.

TBF MIPIM is always an anti-climax. And when there is something new, it either takes years to deliver or never see's the light of day.

I'm looking forward to St Michael's, Circle Square, Investing in Manchester(Mike Ingall), Housing Generation Z(NOMA), Corridor Manchester(Graphene), and Connecting Manchester.(Transport) There's plenty for us to get our teeth into.

Sadly Manchester Life has turned out to be a damp squid for me. Was really excited by it, but the Architecure has been bog standard and pretty disappointing.

Don't understand how this event gets so much attention year after year.

MIPIM is for overpaid people go for a shindig and a bit of a jolly - all expenses paid. Or "networking" as they call it.

And when we get the rare exciting announcement, it's normally a hypothetical scheme that will probably never see the light of day. Sorry for the negativity.

Property Week Magazine.

Meanwhile, Allied London is unveiling plans for a mighty new tech development to be built on it's existing land [and all but fully let] 160,000 sq ft XYZ building. Mike Ingall calls it XYZ times 10 to give a sense of the scale of the companies ambition

Whatever it's full name - to be revealed this week at MIPIM in Cannes - will trade on this insight. The 400,00-500,000 sq ft development will include the 100,000 sq ft Bonded Warehouse.

MIPIM: St Michael’s ‘to start on site in 2016’, says Shuttleworth

15 Mar 2016, 20:38 Jessica Middleton-Pugh in Cannes
Construction is due to start later this year on the £150m St Michael’s project in Manchester city centre, according to the scheme’s lead architect, but news on the future of two historic buildings on the site is still to be released.

The proposed 1.8-acre development between Jackson’s Row, Bootle Street and Southmill Street, known as St Michael’s, is being brought forward by a development company owned by ex-footballers Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, as well as developer Brendan Flood and Manchester City Council.

The plot is made up of a former police station, the United Reform Synagogue, the Sir Ralph Abercromby pub and a parcel of open land.

Ken Shuttleworth, founder of Make Architects, and advisor on St Michael’s, gave a brief update on the project at the Manchester stand on the first day of MIPIM in Cannes. He presented plans for two connected areas of public realm which are due to be built in the centre of the site, one of which will be situated on the roof of the synagogue’s new home.

The future of the police station and pub remains in question, with members of the public critical of potential plans for demolition.

When questioned by Place North West, Shuttleworth declined to comment on what was going to happen to the buildings, saying that details would emerge as the development progressed.

Manchester City Council purchased the Bootle Street police station site in spring 2015 and announced its decision to appoint St Michael’s as a joint venture partner. In August, a £150m deal was secured with Singaporean-based Rowsley and Beijing Construction Engineering Group to fund the project, and in September the council approved the regeneration framework for the site.

The framework supports the development of a 200-bedroom hotel, apartments, office space, the new synagogue and public realm.

A planning application has yet to be submitted.

Manchester Evening News

Plans were also revealed for a new public realm including Manchester’s very own ‘Spanish steps’ forming part of the St Micheal’s development in the city centre.

The success of Hotel Football could see it expand into Europe and Asia revealed Rowsley, the Singapore investment firm which has a majority stake in the brand.

Launched by Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs, the 134-room hotel – located across the road from Manchester United’s famous Old Trafford Football stadium on Manchester’s Sir Matt Busby Way - was only established in March last year but has already made a significant impression on guests.

Speaking at MIPIM, KK Ho, managing director at Rowsley, said: "Rowsley’s growing presence in Manchester has been established in a very short space of time, largely because of our very good relationship with Manchester’s favourite footballing sons, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, but also because of the strong support we have received from the city council, which has been working tirelessly to welcome investors and putting Manchester on the map as a destination for foreign investment.

“Within a year, Rowsley finds itself involved in a multitude of real estate, which one way or another, provide us with a long term presence.

“One of our first investments is in the highly acclaimed Hotel Football, a 134 room hotel overlooking Old Trafford. The hotel opened to rave reviews a year ago, and with this success we intend to take this hotel brand regional and to parts of Europe as well as Asia, where the following of English and European football is so intense, that no on here without visiting Asia, can imagine.”

Plans were also revealed for a new public realm including Manchester’s very own ‘Spanish steps’ forming part of the St Micheal’s development in the city centre.

The 1.43-acre £200m scheme to transform the Jackson’s Row area surrounding the former Bootle Street Police Station, is being driven by Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs’ Strategic Planning Framework and is being funded by Rowsley, in which the billionaire part-owner of Salford City FC Peter Lim is an investor, and Beijing Construction Engineering Group.

The development will help to link the Jacson’s Row area with Deansgate and Manchester Town Hall, and has been described as the ‘missing link’ to connect key city centre areas.

Plans for the public realm include two open spaces being linked by Manchester’s very own ‘Spanish steps’, and will also include cafes and restaurants.

Mr Ho said: “The largest of our investments is the St Michael’s development situated in the heart of the city, this development will regenerate parts of the city centre and an architectural landmark.

"It will comprise 147 apartments, a 200 bed five star hotel, grade A offices and will also offer high quality dining experiences and a new contemporary public realm.

“Construction is expected to start later this year and when completed St Michael’s will be a place where both locals and tourists will come all year round to experience the city’s rich culture and diverse lifestyle.

He added: “Rowsley has entered the Manchester market at an opportune time as the city is enjoying tremendous growth and is experiencing an increasing number of tourist arrivals each year and with the support of Sir Howard Bernstein and the city council, it is very likely that Rowsley will continue to invest in big way in Manchester and we look forward to contributing much more in making Manchester an exciting place to live, work and visit.”
