Manchester City Council has selected Muse as the delivery and investment partner for Wythenshawe town centre regeneration.
The total investment cost is expected to exceed £500m, with the initial development work starting in 2025.
The procurement process began in October 2023 and the 10-year regeneration programme includes a public square, shops, commercial space, community and cultural space and more than 1,750 homes.
The council was awarded a £20m grant through the Levelling Up Fund, which will be complemented by a further £11.9m from the council to deliver a cultural and creative hub, food hall, co-working and employment space, and initial investment in new public realm.
Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Regeneration is about much more than buildings, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create jobs, deliver secure and affordable housing, tackle deprivation, strengthen community and create opportunity for the people of Wythenshawe.”
Phil Marsden, managing director at Muse for North West, said: “Our team has engaged closely with the community and listened to local people. We will work with, and build on, what already makes Wythenshawe special. We are committed to addressing the challenges and seek to change perceptions.”
The procurement exercise was managed on behalf of the council by Savills and DWF.
