Northern Quarter property

Manchester-based property development companies Kamani Property and Capital & Centric have joined forces with the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity and Street Support.

The firms are providing their joint venture property site on the Northern Quarter’s Swan Street as a drop off location for essentials for Manchester’s homeless community during the coronavirus crisis.
