A new Global Research and Development Centre in Manchester

We advised US-based scientific company, Waters Corporation, on finding a new facility to accommodate a Global Centre of Excellence for Research and Development in Manchester. From four shortlisted schemes, Waters selected a 35 acre site in Wilmslow as the preferred option and in early 2012, we concluded the transaction.

Works commenced on site in summer 2012, with a planned occupation date of mid 2014.

Biggest commercial property deal of the year in South Manchester

The deal is one of five in the running to be crowned Insider’s North West Property Deal of the Year.

Peter Skelton, Strategic Development Director commented: “This was the biggest commercial property deal of the year in South Manchester and we are extremely proud to have been a key part of the project team, providing a comprehensive service to deliver a key strategy over a four year period.”

The winners will be announced at Insider’s North West Property Awards dinner on Thursday 23 May 2013 at Manchester Central.
