And so it begins. The Hut Group's plans for a 1M SF campus HQ at Manchester Airport is starting to take shape with the completion of the purchase of the 11.6-acre site for the first phase.

There will be 104K SF of offices, plus 168K SF of design and content facilities.

Work will start on the new development in June 2019 and is expected to be completed by July 2020. Winvic Construction has been appointed as contractor.

This is Phase 1 of a four-phase HQ campus development.

Icon Industrial has confirmed the Manchester Airport site's sale. Manchester City Council has already approved plans for the development.
