Leading industrial property developer Network Space has officially begun construction at Coda @City Works, its newly-branded industrial and logistics scheme on Welcomb Street, Openshaw, Manchester.<\/p>\n

This marks the final phase of expansion at the highly successful City Works Business Park, reinforcing Network Space\u2019s ongoing commitment to delivering best-in-class industrial assets across the region.<\/p>\n

Designed by AEW Architects, Coda @City Works\u00a0 is targeting BREEAM Excellent, ensuring high environmental performance, reduced operational costs, and long-term resilience for occupiers. The scheme\u2019s responsible design principles and flexible unit sizes are tailored to the demands of today\u2019s industrial and logistics market, supporting ESG strategies and future-proofing investments.<\/p>\n

Coda@City Works will complement the established business park, a 173,330 sq. ft multi-let industrial estate developed and managed by Network Space, supporting a diverse mix of trade, light industrial, and logistics occupiers.\u00a0This final phase underscores the sustained demand for quality industrial space in Manchester and the long-term success of the location.<\/p>\n

Situated on a four-acre site formerly occupied by Manchester College, Coda @City Works benefits from exceptional connectivity \u2013 just 2.5 miles from Manchester city centre and the M60, with direct access to the M67, M56, and M62. Public transport links are robust, with multiple local bus routes and Ashbury train station less than a mile away, making the scheme highly accessible for workforce and logistics operations.<\/p>\n

Joe Burnett, Development Director at Network Space<\/strong>, commented: \u201cBreaking ground at Coda @City Works marks an exciting new chapter for this part of East Manchester. While the scheme will have its own distinct identity, it forms a natural extension and reinforces the long-term success of this employment location.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme also signals our continued development momentum. Across the wider Network Space portfolio, we have over 700,000 sq. ft of consented MLI space in the pipeline, with several sites due to come forward over the next 12 to 18 months.\u201d As well as AEW architects, the professional team includes GWB Consultants, Hydrock, Hannan Associates, and Spawforths. Letting agents are Rob Taylor of Cushman & Wakefield and Ruth Leighton of JLL.<\/p>\n
