Work starts at Stubbs Mill site

WORK has started on the latest commercial redevelopment project in Manchester.

Regeneration specialist Urban Splash with Bolton-based constructor Artez have kicked off the project at Stubbs Mill – adjacent to the mixed-use Chips building – in the New Islington zone.

Stubbs Mill will boast canalside, flexible workspaces housed in a former machine works. Much of the original, industrial structure will be retained in the new building, which has been designed by Sixtwo Architects.

The 30,000sq ft scheme, to be complete this year, will also bolster the Urban Splash commercial portfolio, which already offers more than 2msq ft of office, retail, leisure and light industrial space across the country.

Urban Splash director Nathan Cornish said: “This is an iconic building; its raw industrial features give us an interesting architectural framework and give future occupiers a creative and unique space to work.
 
“It is another fantastic addition to our rich and diverse commercial portfolio. I’m delighted to be working with Artez on it.”
 
Stubbs Mill is one of two live Urban Splash sites at New Islington. The company is also currently putting in place the first dwellings as part of its house scheme.
