Work has now started on the 125,000 sq ft, seven-storey scheme called Citylabs 4.0 for developer Bruntwood SciTech.

Enabling works started on site early this year and GMI will be working on the Sheppard Robson-designed development with Arup, Hilson Moran, Gardiner and Theobald, and Layers. It is expected to open in Spring 2025.

Marc Banks, Divisional Managing Director of GMI North West, said: “GMI is delighted to be partnering up with repeat client Bruntwood SciTech on this next phase of the Citylabs campus expansion.

“There is no doubt that Manchester is the driving force for science, technology and innovation in the North and for GMI to be a part of that, working alongside Bruntwood SciTech, is something we are immensely proud of.

“Not only will we create a world class office space, but it will also be one which has sustainability at the heart.”
