en.Wedoany.com Reported - The £1.5 billion Mayfield regeneration project in Manchester, UK, is progressing steadily. Construction of Republic, the area's first speculative office building in years, is accelerating on site with Bowmer + Kirkland as the contractor. This is the first speculative new-build office to break ground in Manchester since work began on No3 Circle Square in early 2023.

The Republic building has a total area of 233,000 square feet. Revised plans for a second office building, Poulton, designed by Bennetts Associates, have been submitted to Manchester City Council, with the building height increased by one storey to 10 floors and office space expanded by 22,500 square feet to reach 104,000 square feet. The project has received £13 million in support from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority's Growth Deal Fund. The Landsec-led Mayfield Partnership has also submitted updated plans for a multi-storey car park, with the number of parking spaces remaining unchanged at 488. Both projects are scheduled to commence before the end of the year.

A small park known as the "Pigeon Triangle" has recently been approved, adding approximately 7,600 square feet of green space to the masterplan area, further extending the 6.5-acre Mayfield Park which opened in 2022. The garden, originally designed by Tom Massey Studio for the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, will be built on a triangular island site between Piccadilly Station and Mayfield Park. Studio Egret West, the design lead for Mayfield, has redesigned it, planning 19 trees and seating areas, with some trees equipped with smart technology for real-time health monitoring.

Duncan Paybody, Landscape Director at Studio Egret West, said the design follows the core principles of Mayfield Park, integrating recycled materials, local stone, water-sensitive design, and ecological planting into the compact space. Henrietta Nowne, Development Director at Landsec, stated that Mayfield Park has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors since opening in 2022, and the park's extension towards Piccadilly, along with the updated proposals for the next phase of buildings, marks another step forward in creating a well-connected, green and friendly neighbourhood in Manchester city centre.
